1. What is Twitch Revenue Calculation?

The Twitch Revenue Calculator estimates potential earnings from streaming based on hours streamed, average viewers, and CPM (Cost Per Mille) rate. It helps streamers understand their potential income from ad revenue.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Twitch revenue equation:

\[ Revenue = \frac{Hours\ Streamed \times Average\ Viewers \times CPM}{1000} \]

Where:

$ Hours\ Streamed $ — Total streaming time in hours
$ Average\ Viewers $ — Average concurrent viewers during stream
$ CPM $ — Ad revenue per 1000 views (USD)

Explanation: The equation calculates estimated ad revenue based on total impressions (hours streamed × average viewers) multiplied by the CPM rate.

3. Importance of Revenue Estimation

Details: Understanding potential revenue helps streamers set realistic expectations, track growth, and make informed decisions about content creation and monetization strategies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter hours streamed (decimal values accepted), average viewers (whole number), and your estimated CPM rate. Typical CPM rates range from $2-$10 depending on your audience and content type.
