Convert any amount of Bits
The calculator below converts Bits to dollars and back, as you type. It uses the fixed one-cent payout for the streamer side and Twitch's real US web pack prices (100 for $1.40, 500 for $7.00, 1,500 for $19.95, 5,000 for $64.40, 10,000 for $126.00, 25,000 for $308.00) to compute the cheapest way to buy any amount, including the 1000 Bits this page is about. It starts pre-filled at 1000 so you can see the $10.00 payout immediately, then change it to whatever your chat actually Cheered.

Quick conversion table
payout is always $0.01 / Bit| Bits | Buyer pays (web) | Buyer pays (mobile, approx.) | Streamer receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | $1.40 | ≈ $1.00 | $0.50 |
| 100 | $1.40 | ≈ $1.99 | $1.00 |
| 500 | $7.00 | ≈ $9.95 | $5.00 |
| 1,000 | $14.00 | ≈ $19.90 | $10.00 |
| 5,000 | $64.40 | ≈ $99.50 | $50.00 |
| 10,000 | $126.00 | ≈ $199.00 | $100.00 |
| 25,000 | $308.00 | ≈ $497.50 | $250.00 |
Web prices use Twitch's real US store packs (100 $1.40 · 500 $7.00 · 1,500 $19.95 · 5,000 $64.40 · 10,000 $126.00 · 25,000 $308.00) and the cheapest pack combination; below 100 Bits the 100-Bit pack is the minimum purchase. Mobile in-app prices are approximations (≈ $1.99 / 100) and vary by store. Exact prices vary by region and taxes. The streamer payout of one cent per Bit is fixed by Twitch regardless of what the viewer paid. 1,000 Bits are always worth $10.00 to the streamer.
The 1000 Bits math, side by side
The two numbers people mean when they ask this question sit about four dollars apart. The streamer side is simple arithmetic: 1000 Bits times one cent is $10.00, and that rate is fixed by Twitch no matter how the Bits were bought or whether they were bought at all (survey-earned Bits pay the same). The buyer side is where pack sizes, store choice and taxes move the number, which is why "about $14" is the honest web answer rather than a precise quote.
What Twitch keeps, roughly $4.00 on a 1000-Bit Cheer at web prices, covers payment processing and the platform's share. The margin percentage actually shrinks as packs get bigger: Twitch's cut on a 100-Bit pack is $0.40 out of $1.40 (about 29 percent), while on the 25,000 pack it is $58.00 out of $308.00 (about 19 percent). Bulk is cheaper per Bit for the buyer even though the streamer's per-Bit payout never changes, which is a quirk of pricing that catches a lot of people out when they first do this math themselves.
1000 Bits in other currencies
Because the payout is defined in US dollars, every non-US number here is an exchange-rate conversion, and it moves when the markets move. These are the payout values at the ECB reference rates checked October 25, 2026 (0.748 GBP and 0.893 EUR per USD; the pound and euro pages keep current tables):
| Currency | Streamer gets for 1000 Bits | Approx. viewer cost (web) |
|---|---|---|
| US dollar | $10.00 (fixed) | ≈ $14.00 |
| British pound | ≈ £7.48 | ≈ £10.47 |
| Euro | ≈ €8.93 | ≈ €12.51 |
| Philippine peso | ≈ ₱636 | ≈ ₱891 |
| Indian rupee | ≈ ₹950 | ≈ ₹1,330 |
Payout values convert the fixed $10.00 at ECB reference rates (checked October 25, 2026). Viewer costs convert the $14.00 US web price and are estimates only: Twitch sets regional store prices in each local currency, and mobile app prices run higher still. Your checkout at twitch.tv/bits is the authoritative number.
What 1000 Bits looks like in chat
Numbers land better with context. Cheering 1000 Bits sends an animated celebration that stands out in any chat, and Twitch's leaderboards will show you among the top Cheerers of the stream if nobody has gone bigger. For the streamer, your single Cheer is $10.00 of payout credit, roughly the same as two Tier 1 subscriptions at the standard split, which makes 1000 Bits a benchmark amount when viewers compare supporting via Bits versus subscribing. If you are working out that comparison properly, the sub calculator shows what subs pay after the platform split, and the Bits vs subs guide walks the trade-offs in full.
On the buying side, remember the cheapest path to 1000 Bits is two 500 packs, not one 1500 pack, and not ten 100 packs ($14.00 versus $19.95 versus $14.00). The same logic scales up: 5000 Bits should come from the dedicated 5000 pack at $64.40 rather than any combination of smaller ones, because Twitch discounts the large packs. Whatever amount you are planning, the calculator above works out the cheapest mix for you, and the price list shows every pack side by side.
