Formula & Sources
Creator Payout (USD) = Bits × $0.01Source:Twitch Guide to Bits for Streamers (help.twitch.tv). Viewers purchase Bits at a higher price (e.g., 100 Bits for $1.40).

How Twitch Bits pay out
Every Bit a viewer cheers pays you exactly $0.01. Twitch doesn't vary this by partner tier, follower count, or channel size. 1,000 Bits = $10.00 to you, period.
Viewers pay more than that. 100 Bits costs $1.40 at standard pricing — Twitch keeps the $0.40 markup on the viewer side. You never see that margin. Your payout is always fixed at $0.01 per Bit regardless of how the viewer bought them.
Bits and subscriptions aren't the same value per viewer dollar. A $4.99 Tier 1 sub pays you $2.50 (50% split for most affiliates). 499 Bits pays you $4.99 — but costs the viewer about $7 to purchase. Subs are cheaper for loyal viewers. Bits are easier for one-time tips.
