Twitch Ad Revenue Calculator

A simple estimate uses average concurrent viewers, stream hours, ads per hour, fill rate, and eCPM. For example, 100 viewers streaming 60 hours with 2 ads per hour creates 12,000 gross impressions before any fill-rate adjustment. Revenue then depends on how many of those slots were actually monetized and what advertisers paid.

eCPM means effective cost per 1,000 monetized impressions. If your eCPM is $8, then 50,000 monetized impressions would estimate to about $400 in ad revenue. Real eCPM changes with audience country, seasonality, advertiser demand, and channel category.

Not necessarily. Running more ad breaks can increase ad inventory, but too many breaks may hurt retention and reduce average viewers. A higher ad load with weaker retention can sometimes earn less than a lower ad load with stronger watch time.

Many creators model multiple scenarios instead of assuming one perfect number. Testing 60%, 80%, and 95% fill rates gives you a more realistic range, especially if your audience is spread across different countries and time zones.

No. This is a planning calculator, not an official Twitch statement. Twitch ad earnings vary by inventory quality, audience mix, eligibility, and platform programs, so the final payout may differ from any estimate.
