A subathon keeps running while each streamed hour adds **more than 60 minutes** to the timer. With 10 minutes per sub, 5 subs an hour, 500 Bits and $10 of tips an hour, the timer gains about 65 minutes an hour at the start; as activity fades day by day it eventually runs out. Enter your rules below to see the projected length and revenue. ## How to use the subathon calculator 1. Pick Twitch or Kick and set the starting timer. 2. Set minutes added per sub, per 100 Bits (or $1 of KICKs) and per $1 tip. 3. Enter expected subs, Bits and tips per hour, a hard cap and daily decay. 4. Read projected length, subs and revenue. ## How the simulation works Each simulated hour removes 60 minutes and adds time from subs, cheers and tips; activity falls by the decay rate each day. Revenue uses $5.99 subs at 50/50 and $0.01 per Bit on Twitch, $4.75 per sub and 95% of KICKs on Kick, and tips before processor fees. Always set a cap and plan sleep. ## Grow the inputs, not just the split Revenue scales with average viewers and hours far more than with the platform split.
