Twitch’s local pricing adjusts subscription costs based on where you live, making it easier for viewers to support streamers affordably and for streamers to estimate their earnings. Our advanced Twitch Sub Calculator offers two tools to help you navigate this system. Below, we introduce the Viewer Mode and Streamer Mode calculators, explain how to use them, and provide detailed insights into Twitch’s pricing and revenue. All data is based on Twitch’s official pricing and exchange rates as of September 2025.
Introduction to the Calculators
Viewer Mode (Budget to Subs): This calculator helps viewers figure out how many subscriptions they can afford with a specific budget in USD or EUR. You can select a region, country, and subscription tier (Tier 1, 2, or 3) to see how many subs you can purchase and estimate how much the streamer might earn on Twitch or Kick.
How to Use Viewer Mode:
- Enter the amount you want to spend (e.g., $10).
- Choose your currency (USD or EUR).
- Select the subscription tier (Tier 1, 2, or 3).
- Pick a region and country to see local pricing.
- Click “Calculate” to view the number of subs you can buy and the streamer’s potential earnings.
- Use the “Reset” button to clear your inputs.
Streamer Mode (Subs to Earnings): This calculator lets streamers estimate their earnings based on the number of subscriptions they receive. You can input the number of Tier 1, 2, 3, or custom-priced subs and specify the regions your audience is from to calculate weighted earnings.
How to Use Streamer Mode:
- Enter the number of Tier 1, 2, 3, or custom-priced subs you’ve received.
- Add regions and countries where your subs are located, assigning a percentage to each (total must equal 100%).
- Click “Calculate Earnings” to see your total viewer spend and your estimated earnings on Twitch (50% or 70% share) or Kick (95% share).
- Use the “Reset” button to clear all inputs.
Note: These calculations are estimates. Currency exchange rates fluctuate, and Twitch may adjust streamer earnings with subsidies in lower-priced regions to maintain baseline revenue. Kick uses a flat 95/5 split. Always consult official platforms like Twitch or Kick for the most current details.

Detailed Explanation of Calculators and Charts
Viewer Mode Calculator
What It Is: The Viewer Mode calculator helps you determine how many Twitch subscriptions you can buy with a specific budget in USD or EUR, based on the local pricing in a chosen country. It also estimates how much the streamer might earn from those subscriptions on Twitch (50% or 70% revenue share) or Kick (95% revenue share).
How It’s Calculated:
- Input Amount: You enter the amount you’re willing to spend (e.g., $50).
- Currency Conversion: If you select EUR, the amount is converted to USD using the exchange rate (1 EUR ≈ 1.172 USD as of September 2025).
- Local Pricing: The calculator uses Twitch’s local pricing data for the selected country. For example, a Tier 1 sub in Turkey costs ~$1.06 USD, while in the US, it’s $5.99 USD.
- Tier Scaling: Tier 2 costs twice as much as Tier 1, and Tier 3 costs five times as much, based on local currency pricing. The calculator converts these to USD equivalents.
- Number of Subs: Your budget is divided by the per-sub price (in USD) to calculate how many subs you can buy, capped at 200 subs per transaction (Twitch’s gifting limit).
- Streamer Earnings: The total amount spent is multiplied by the platform’s revenue share (50% or 70% for Twitch, 95% for Kick) to estimate streamer earnings.
What It Shows: The result tells you how many subs you can afford, the cost per sub in USD, and the streamer’s potential earnings on Twitch or Kick. A bar chart visualizes the earnings for each platform’s revenue split.
Streamer Mode Calculator
What It Is: The Streamer Mode calculator helps streamers estimate their earnings based on the number of Tier 1, 2, 3, or custom-priced subscriptions they receive. It accounts for the regional distribution of their audience to calculate a weighted average subscription price.
How It’s Calculated:
- Sub Counts: You input the number of Tier 1, 2, 3, or custom-priced subs (e.g., 50 Tier 1, 10 Tier 2).
- Regional Distribution: You specify the regions and countries your subs come from and assign a percentage to each (e.g., 60% US, 40% Brazil). The percentages must add up to 100%.
- Weighted Pricing: The calculator computes a weighted average Tier 1 price based on the local pricing of each country. For example, if 60% of your subs are from the US ($5.99) and 40% from Brazil (~$1.83), the average Tier 1 price is (0.6 × $5.99) + (0.4 × $1.83).
- Tier Scaling: Tier 2 is twice the weighted Tier 1 price, and Tier 3 is five times the weighted Tier 1 price. Custom subs use the price you input.
- Total Revenue: The total viewer spend is calculated by multiplying the number of subs by their respective prices (Tier 1, 2, 3, or custom).
- Earnings: The total spend is multiplied by the platform’s revenue share (50% or 70% for Twitch, 95% for Kick) to estimate your earnings.
What It Shows: The result shows the total amount viewers spent on your subs and your estimated earnings on Twitch or Kick. A bar chart displays the earnings for each platform’s revenue split.
Interactive Charts
What They Are: The three charts display Twitch’s subscription pricing trends: the cheapest countries, the most expensive countries, and the average Tier 1 price by region.
How They’re Calculated:
- Cheapest Countries Chart: This chart shows the 10 countries with the lowest Tier 1 subscription prices in USD. Prices are sourced from Twitch’s local pricing data, converted to USD using September 2025 exchange rates.
- Most Expensive Countries Chart: This chart shows the 10 countries with the highest Tier 1 subscription prices in USD, calculated the same way.
- Average Region Chart: This chart calculates the average Tier 1 price for each region (North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa, Europe) by averaging the USD-equivalent prices of all countries in that region.
What They Show:
- Cheapest Countries: Highlights countries like Turkey (~$1.06) or India (~$1.25) where subs are most affordable, helping viewers find cost-effective gifting options.
- Most Expensive Countries: Shows countries like Canada (~$5.78) or Iceland (~$6.14) with higher prices, useful for understanding pricing disparities.
- Average Region: Compares average Tier 1 prices across regions, showing trends like lower averages in Middle East & Africa (~$2.00) versus higher averages in North America (~$5.50).
Additional Notes
Local Pricing: Twitch adjusts subscription prices based on local economies, so a Tier 1 sub might cost $1.06 in Turkey but $5.99 in the US. This makes subscribing more accessible in lower-cost regions.
Platform Fees: Prices shown are for web purchases. Mobile purchases may include a 30% app store fee, increasing the cost.
Gifting Limits: Twitch allows gifting up to 200 subs per transaction, which the Viewer Mode calculator respects.
Revenue Shares: Twitch offers streamers a 50% or 70% revenue share depending on their partner status, while Kick offers a 95% share. The calculators use these splits to estimate earnings.
Configuration Panel: Advanced users can edit pricing data or exchange rates in the Configuration Panel using JSON format. This allows customization for updated rates or hypothetical scenarios.
Insights and Tips
Regions like Middle East & Africa or Latin America offer great value for viewers, with Tier 1 subs as low as $1.49-$1.99 USD. Streamers can use the Streamer Mode calculator to plan revenue goals by targeting audiences in specific regions. For the latest details, check Twitch’s official page.
