Twitch Channel Points

Twitch Channel Points are a virtual currency that viewers earn by watching streams and participating in chat activities. These points can be redeemed for various rewards set by streamers, including emotes, sound effects, game choices, and interactive experiences. The standard earning rate is 12 points per hour of active viewing, but this can be enhanced through subscriber bonuses and watch streak multipliers.

Subscribers receive bonus multipliers based on their tier level, with Tier 1 subscribers earning 20% more points, Tier 2 earning 40% more, and Tier 3 subscribers earning double points. Additionally, maintaining consecutive daily viewing streaks provides additional bonuses, encouraging regular engagement with your favorite streamers.

Step 1: Configure Your Basic Settings

Step 3: Enter Your Specific Values

Depending on your selected calculation type, input the relevant values. For earnings calculations, enter your planned viewing hours. For goal-based calculations, specify your target points and current points if tracking progress. The calculator will automatically show and hide the appropriate input fields based on your selection.
