How much are top Twitch streamers really making? Disguised Toast has the answer G FUEL\/Ninja, TwitchPopular Hearthstone player and top Twitch streamer \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 broke down his earnings on the platform in a recent YouTube video, which revealed some pretty major numbers. Toast explained that streamers generate revenue in four different ways \u2013 through donations, subscriptions, advertisements, and sponsorships. While donations and advertisements are fairly straightforward, Twitch\u2019s subscription system features multiple tiers, which are then split either 50-50 or 70-30 with streamers depending on their status with the company. Ninja, for example, is a top-tier streamer with over 121,000 subscribers \u2013 which means that he earns around $423,500 a month through subscriptions alone, according to Toast\u2019s calculations. Shroud, on the other hand, reels in around $148,750 through subscriptions. Those numbers don\u2019t even count higher tier subscriptions, which range from $9.99 \u2013 $24.99, if offered by a partnered streamer. Streamers can also make dough through sponsorship deals, such as being paid to play a certain game on stream. Streamers can earn as much as one cent per hour, or one dollar per viewer \u2013 which can add up to massive amounts of money through larger audiences. Toast himself stated that he could make up to $10,000 through sponsored streams, due to his general average of 10,000 viewers. However, many factors can go into how much partners get paid, from the amount of money a company offers them to how large (or generous) their audience is. Toast himself makes around $2,500 monthly through donations and around $4,000 through advertisements (without spamming the ad button). Combined with his subscriber revenue, this adds up to quite a pretty penny in one month. In sum, Twitch\u2019s top streamers likely aren\u2019t hurting for funds \u2013 but their deep pockets are ultimately thanks to their fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
