Why the Price Depends on Where You Live
Twitch sets subscription prices per country to match local purchasing power, and that applies to gift subs too. A Tier 1 gift is $5.99 in the US, but R$9.90 in Brazil, ₹110 in India and $1.99 in Argentina. Streamers can't change these prices. The calculator uses Twitch's published web prices for each country. Buying in the iOS or Android app can cost more because of app-store pricing.
When Gifted Subs Are Discounted
- Site-wide sales. Scheduled promotions across all channels, announced with a banner on Twitch.
- Treasure Trains. A Hype Train that can appear at random on a monetized channel and unlocks discounted gifts while it runs.
- Channel discounts. Affiliates and Partners can run their own 35% off on bundles of 5+. These can't be stacked with a site-wide sale.
All three only cover Tier 1, one-month community gifts in bundles of 5 or more. Single gifts, multi-month gifts and Tier 2/3 are always full price, and streamers can opt out of discounts.
How to Gift Subs on Twitch
In chat, type /gift followed by a number from 1 to 100 to gift to the community. Or open the channel's Gift a Sub button and choose a community gift or one specific viewer. Gifting to a specific viewer is the only way to give 3, 6 or 12 months, and you can only do it on the web, at Tier 1. Prime subs can't be gifted.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 100 gifted subs on Twitch?
$599 in the United States before tax: 100 × $5.99 for Tier 1. In the UK it is £499 and in euro countries €499. With a 35% channel discount the US price drops to about $389. One community gift is capped at 100 subs, so 100 is the most you can send in a single purchase.
How much is 50 gifted subs on Twitch?
$299.50 in the US before tax (50 × $5.99). With a 35% discount it is about $194.68. Prices are lower in countries with local pricing, for example R$495 in Brazil or €249.50 in euro countries.
How much does one gifted sub cost?
The same as a normal Tier 1 sub in your country: $5.99 in the US, £4.99 in the UK, €4.99 in euro countries, CA$7.99 in Canada. Twitch sets these prices by country, and the price you pay depends on where you live, not on the streamer.
Are gifted subs cheaper in bulk?
Not by default: 100 subs cost exactly 100 times one sub. Discounts appear only during Twitch promotions. These are site-wide sales, Treasure Trains (a Hype Train with discounted gifts) and channel-run discounts, where Affiliates and Partners can offer 35% off. All of them apply only to Tier 1, one-month community gift bundles of 5 or more.
Do gifted subs add tax?
In some places, yes. Twitch's checkout shows a subtotal at the base price and adds tax where it applies, so a US buyer may pay their state's sales tax on top. Use the tax field in the calculator to include it.
How much of a gifted sub goes to the streamer?
The streamer gets their usual subscription revenue share of what you actually paid, so a discounted gift earns them less per sub. The exception is SUBtember, when Twitch and sponsors cover the discount and streamers are paid on the full price. For the split itself (50/50, 60/40, 70/30), use our Twitch sub calculator.
Can I get a refund on gifted subs?
No. Twitch says all gift subscription purchases are final.
Do gifted subs renew?
No. A gift lasts the period you paid for: one month, or 3, 6 or 12 months for a Tier 1 gift to one specific viewer on the web. Community gifts are always one month. The recipient can choose to start their own paid sub when the gift runs out.
