Mathematical Audit

Twitch Partner vs Affiliate Formula

Computes Plus Points to establish sub splits (50% base, 60% at 100 points, 70% at 300 points) and compares earnings after bits payouts and platform ad shares.

Plus Points = (Tier 1 Subs + Gifted Subs) × 1 + (Tier 2 Subs × 2) + (Tier 3 Subs × 6)
Plus Split = 70% (if Points ≥ 300) or 60% (if Points ≥ 100) or 50% (base)
Ad Revenue = (Ad Views ÷ 1,000) × CPM × 55%
Total Sub revenue = (Tier 1 + Gifted) × $4.99 × Split + Tier 2 × $9.99 × Split + Tier 3 × $24.99 × Split + Prime × $4.99 × 50%

Prime subscriptions always pay out at a flat 50% split and do not count toward Plus Point tiers. Partners benefit from custom ad rates and lower transactional overhead.
