Twitch is finally giving some streamers a bigger slice of the money pie, but there are some big conditions, too (www.pcgamer.com)

It was 50/50 before! That's brutal. Is there any rules of thumb to estimate a channel revenu? What's the minimum subscribers for a channel to generate a decent wage?

I mean, it's pretty easy to calculate, and you'll have to calculate it yourself because it depends on your area. And also what you mean with "decent wage".

  • Figure out your "decent wage"
  • See what your local tax rate is for one-person-businesses, from that calculate how much money you actually need to make before taxes to get your desired amount after taxes
  • divide by 50% (or 70% if you get the new deal) to adjust for twitch's share
  • divide by sub cost (5$) to get the amount of subscriptions needed.

So idk, 2000$ is "decent wage" local tax rate is about 30% so 2857.14$ needed, with twitch share it's 5714.28$, divided by 5$ per subscribtion it's 1143 subscribers.

But as has already been said, there are other revenue sources for streamers, so you don't need quite as many subscriptions.
