Quick answer: 1 Twitch Bit = $0.01 for the streamer. That means 100 Bits = $1.00, 500 Bits = $5.00, 1,000 Bits = $10.00, and 10,000 Bits = $100.00. Enter any amount in the free Twitch Bits to USD calculator below to convert Bits to dollars, reverse-solve a USD goal into Bits needed, and compare what the viewer pays versus what the streamer receives.

Streamer payout uses the fixed rate of $0.01 per Bit. Viewer cost is an estimate from US web bundles (100/$1.40, 500/$7.00, 1,500/$19.95, 5,000/$64.40, 10,000/$126.00, 25,000/$308.00); mobile, regional, and promo prices differ. Non-USD figures use indicative Oct-2026 rates for planning only — Twitch charges local checkout prices. Always confirm in your Twitch payout dashboard.
Twitch Bits are the virtual currency viewers buy from Twitch and spend by cheering in chat (for example cheer100). The streamer payout is fixed and simple: every Bit is worth exactly $0.01. There is no Affiliate-versus-Partner split and no tiered rate.
Exact streamer earnings at the flat $0.01-per-Bit rate. Use the calculator above for odd amounts or USD-to-Bits goals.

100 Bits = $1.00 streamer earnings. Viewers pay about $1.40 on the web. The smallest standard bundle and the 100-Bit Cheermote tier — the most common first cheer.
500 Bits = $5.00 streamer earnings. Viewers pay about $7.00 on the web. A popular everyday support amount with animated Cheermotes.
1,000 Bits = $10.00 streamer earnings. Viewers pay roughly $14.00 at standard per-bit pricing (for example 2 × 500-Bit bundles), or buy the 1,500-Bit bundle for $19.95 to lower the per-Bit cost.
5,000 Bits = $50.00 streamer earnings. The official 5,000-Bit bundle costs viewers about $64.40 (roughly an 8% bulk discount) — exactly the typical $50 minimum payout threshold in one cheer.
10,000 Bits = $100.00 streamer earnings. Viewers pay about $126.00 (roughly a 10% bulk discount). A major celebration cheer often seen during Hype Trains.
25,000 Bits = $250.00 streamer earnings. Viewers pay about $308.00, the best standard per-Bit rate at roughly a 12% bulk discount (about $0.0123 per Bit).
100,000 Bits = $1,000.00 streamer earnings at the fixed $0.01 rate. There is no standard 100,000-Bit bundle; viewers typically stack four 25,000-Bit bundles (about $308 each on the web), so the viewer total is roughly $1,232 before any promo or regional difference.
1,000,000 Bits = $10,000.00 streamer earnings. At web bundle rates that is roughly $12,320 in viewer spend (40 × 25,000-Bit bundles). Totals this large build up across Hype Trains, charity streams, or long-term community support — not a single cheer.
Official US web bundles. Larger bundles discount the per-Bit price, which shrinks Twitch's effective cut. Prices vary by region, platform, taxes, and promos. In-between calculator estimates are interpolated between these bundles.
| Bits bundle | Viewer pays | Per Bit | Streamer gets | Twitch cut | Bulk saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 Bits | $1.40 | $0.0140 | $1.00 | $0.40 (28.6%) | Base price |
| 500 Bits | $7.00 | $0.0140 | $5.00 | $2.00 (28.6%) | Base price |
| 1,500 Bits | $19.95 | $0.0133 | $15.00 | $4.95 (24.8%) | ~5% |
| 5,000 Bits | $64.40 | $0.0129 | $50.00 | $14.40 (22.4%) | ~8% |
| 10,000 Bits | $126.00 | $0.0126 | $100.00 | $26.00 (20.6%) | ~10% |
| 25,000 Bits | $308.00 | $0.0123 | $250.00 | $58.00 (18.8%) | ~12% |
The math never changes: multiply Bits by 0.01 for payout, or divide dollars by 0.01 for Bits needed.
On desktop web: open any stream chat → click the Bits diamond icon → Get Bits → choose a bundle → check out with card, PayPal, Amazon Pay, or regional methods. On mobile: in-app Bits cost 20–40% more, so open Twitch in your mobile browser and buy at web prices when you can. Bits never expire, are non-refundable, and Twitch occasionally runs bundle promos.
| Mobile bundle | App price (approx.) | Web equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 95 Bits | ~$1.99 | 100 Bits / $1.40 |
| 510 Bits | ~$9.99 | 500 Bits / $7.00 |
| 1,050 Bits | ~$19.99 | 1,500 Bits / $19.95 |
| 5,550 Bits | ~$99.99 | 5,000 Bits / $64.40 |
| 11,500 Bits | ~$199.99 | 10,000 Bits / $126.00 |
Bits are Twitch's official virtual currency for viewer support. Viewers buy Bits in bundles, then "cheer" in chat — for example, typing cheer100 sends 100 Bits. Each cheer sends real money to the streamer at $0.01 per Bit and can unlock animated Cheermotes that scale with cheer size (1, 100, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000+ tiers, plus seasonal and custom channel Cheermotes). Unlike third-party tips, cheered Bits cannot be charged back, and Twitch absorbs payment liability.
Outside the US? Two rules keep it simple. Viewer prices are local — Twitch sets per-country bundle prices plus VAT/GST, so your checkout rarely matches the US figures above; switch the calculator to your currency for an indicative conversion, then confirm the exact price in the Get Bits dialog. Streamer payout is always USD — every Bit earns $0.01 (100 Bits ≈ £0.79 ≈ €0.92 at indicative rates), paid in dollars and converted by your bank or PayPal on arrival.
The streamer payout never changes — it is always $0.01 per Bit. What changes is what the viewer pays. Buying on the Twitch website uses the bundle prices above. Buying inside the iOS or Android app typically costs about 20 to 40% more because Apple and Google take a store fee. Viewers who want the most money to reach the streamer should buy on the web, and streamers should tell mobile-first audiences about the browser checkout.
Twitch keeps the difference between the viewer price and the $1.00-per-100-Bits payout. On 100 Bits at $1.40 that is $0.40 (about 28.6%). On 25,000 Bits at $308.00 versus a $250.00 payout, the cut is $58.00 (about 18.8%). Bulk buying is the only way for a viewer to shrink the platform's share — the streamer always nets the full $0.01 per Bit cheered.
Most streamers combine all three. Bits are best for one-off hype moments with zero chargeback risk; subs are best for predictable recurring revenue; direct tips keep more per dollar but lack Twitch integration.
| Method | Streamer gets | Chargebacks? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bits cheers | $0.01 per Bit, fixed | No | Hype, Hype Trains, one-off support |
| Subscriptions | ~50–70% revenue split by tier | No (via Twitch) | Recurring monthly income |
| Direct donations | ~95–100% minus processor fees | Yes, possible | Max per-dollar value |

Streamer payout ($0.01/Bit) and web bundle prices checked against Twitch's official cheering and bundle documentation and cross-verified with Twitch pricing references including Streamlabs' published bundle tables. Mobile app bundles (95–11,500 Bits) are approximate because Apple/Google store pricing varies by region and tax. Viewer-cost figures above are US web prices; treat in-between calculator estimates as interpolated between official bundles. Confirm your exact revenue in your Twitch payout dashboard. Helpful official references: Twitch guide to cheering with Bits, Twitch monetized streamer agreement, and Twitch subscriptions guide.
Verification method: every figure on this page is derived from two fixed inputs — the $0.01-per-Bit streamer payout and Twitch's six published US web bundle prices (100/$1.40 through 25,000/$308.00). The calculator interpolates linearly between bundles and extrapolates above 25,000 Bits at the best bundle rate; all interpolated outputs are labeled estimates.

Each Twitch Bit is worth exactly $0.01 to the streamer. So 1 Bit = $0.01, 100 Bits = $1.00, 500 Bits = $5.00, 1,000 Bits = $10.00, 10,000 Bits = $100.00, and 1,000,000 Bits = $10,000. Use the formula USD = Bits × 0.01. Viewers always pay more than $0.01 per Bit — the spread is Twitch's platform fee.
