In 2026 Twitch still splits revenue from ads, subscriptions and Bits 50/50 with creators. Besides the core Twitch income, creators often supplement earnings with sponsorships, merchandise and external platforms such as UGC Max.

Revenue sources per 1,000 viewers

• Subscriptions: €4.99 base price, 50 % to Twitch → €2.50 per subscriber. With a 1 % conversion rate = 10 subs per 1,000 viewers → €25.

5. Bits: 200 Bits × €0.01 × 4 hours × 5 days = €40 per week.
6. Sponsorship: €30 × 5 days = €150 per week.
