FAQ
Do gifted subs pay the same?
They contribute, but promotions and gift bombs can differ from steady paid recurring. Check detailed breakdowns in analytics.
Are these numbers before tax?
Yes. Streamer share is not the same as take-home after tax and fees.
Can a calculator promise income?
No. It multiplies your assumptions. Garbage in, garbage out.
