This tool helps you calculate your Twitch channel points earnings based on your current viewership and engagement metrics.
How to Use the Twitch Channel Points Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the number of Twitch Channel Points you can earn based on your watching habits and subscriber status.
To use the calculator, follow these steps:
- Enter the base channel points earned per hour of watching a stream. This is typically 10 points.
- Enter the number of hours you watch per day.
- Enter the number of consecutive days you have watched (your streak).
- Enter your subscriber tier: 0 for no subscription, 1 for Tier 1, 2 for Tier 2, and 3 for Tier 3.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see your estimated total channel points earned.
How It Calculates Results
The calculation takes into account several factors:
- Base Points per Hour: The core points you earn per hour of watching.
- Watch Hours per Day: How many hours you watch streams each day.
- Streak Days: Watching consecutive days grants bonus points.
- Subscriber Tier: Being subscribed at different tiers grants bonus points.
The formula used is:
total_points = (base_points * watch_hours * streak_modifier) + subscriber_bonus
Where:
streak_modifier
is 2% bonus per streak day.subscriber_bonus
is 1.2 for Tier 1, 1.4 for Tier 2, and 2 for Tier 3.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on the input values. Actual points may vary due to additional factors like special events, additional bonuses, and specific streamer’s settings on their channel. Please note that the base points and bonus multipliers are subject to change by Twitch and may not be accurately reflected here in future updates.
