1. What is the Twitch Earnings Calculation?

The Twitch Earnings calculation estimates a streamer's revenue from bits, subscriptions, and ads after applying the platform's revenue share rate. It helps streamers understand their potential earnings from different income sources.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Twitch earnings equation:

Where:

• \( bits \) — Revenue from bits (USD)
• \( subs \) — Revenue from subscriptions (USD)
• \( ads \) — Revenue from ads (USD)
• \( share\_rate \) — Streamer's revenue share percentage (0-1)

Explanation: The equation sums all revenue sources and applies the streamer's revenue share percentage to calculate net earnings.

Details: Understanding potential earnings helps streamers make informed decisions about content creation, sponsorship opportunities, and monetization strategies.
