Enter any amount of Bits to see the exact streamer payout and the real cost a viewer pays — based on Twitch's actual pack tiers, not a made-up flat rate.
The two honest answers to "how much are Bits worth"
A Twitch Bit has two different values depending on which side you're on. To the streamer, every Bit cheered is worth exactly $0.01 — flat, no exceptions, no Twitch cut. To the viewer, Bits cost more than a cent each, because they're sold in fixed packs with a built-in markup. That gap is how Twitch makes money on Bits.
So "how much is 1,000 Bits?" has two correct answers: $10.00 to the streamer, but about $14.00 for the viewer who buys them. This calculator shows both, using Twitch's real pack prices.
Twitch Bit pack prices (2026, US web)
| Pack | Price | Per Bit | Streamer gets |
|---|
| 100 Bits | $1.40 | $0.0140 | $1.00 |
| 500 Bits | $7.00 | $0.0140 | $5.00 |
| 1,500 Bits | $19.95 | $0.0133 | $15.00 |
| 5,000 Bits | $64.40 | $0.0129 | $50.00 |
| 10,000 Bits | $126.00 | $0.0126 | $100.00 |
| 25,000 Bits | $308.00 | $0.0123 | $250.00 |
There is no official 1,000-Bit pack. To buy 1,000 Bits a viewer combines smaller packs (typically two 500-packs). Mobile in-app prices run ~30% higher because of Apple/Google store fees. Regional VAT may add more.
How the viewer cost is calculated
For any Bit amount, this tool finds the cheapest real-pack combination that reaches your total, using the six pack sizes above. That's why the viewer cost isn't a simple flat multiplication — bigger packs cost less per Bit, so the best mix changes with the amount. The streamer payout is always simply your Bits × $0.01.
Frequently asked questions
How much is 1,000 Bits on Twitch?
1,000 Bits pays the streamer exactly $10.00 (a flat $0.01 per Bit). For a viewer, buying 1,000 Bits costs about $14.00 on the Twitch website — there is no official 1,000-Bit pack, so it's bought as two 500-Bit packs ($7.00 each).
How much do streamers earn per Bit?
Streamers earn a flat $0.01 USD per Bit, with no Twitch cut on the payout side. This rate is the same for Affiliates and Partners and does not change with pack size or region.
What are the real Twitch Bit pack sizes?
Twitch sells Bits in six fixed web packs: 100, 500, 1,500, 5,000, 10,000, and 25,000. There is no 1,000-Bit pack, despite what some calculators show. Per-Bit cost drops from about $0.014 on the 100-pack to about $0.0123 on the 25,000-pack.
Why do viewers pay more than the streamer receives?
The gap between what a viewer pays (~$0.012–$0.014 per Bit) and what the streamer gets ($0.01 per Bit) is Twitch's revenue. It covers payment processing and platform costs. Buying larger packs lowers the per-Bit price for viewers.
Are Bits cheaper on the website or the mobile app?
The website is cheaper. Buying Bits inside the iOS or Android app adds roughly 30% on top of the web price because Apple and Google take an app-store commission. Regional VAT can add more on the viewer side.
When do streamers get paid for Bits?
Bit earnings accumulate in your Twitch balance and pay out monthly (NET 15 — around the 15th of the following month) once you cross the payout threshold. Bit income is taxable and reported on tax forms in most countries.
Bit pack prices are based on Twitch's 2026 US web pricing and may vary by region, currency, promotions, and platform. The $0.01 streamer payout is fixed by Twitch. This tool gives estimates, not financial advice.
