Net 15 Payout FAQ

This article provides answers for some frequently asked questions on Net 15 payout.


 * What changed?
 * On April 15, 2019, Twitch began paying out eligible Partners, Affiliates, and Extension Developers 15 days after the end of a calendar month. This is referred to as Net-15 payout terms and is 30 days faster than our previous Net-45 payout terms. For example, on the new Net-15 payout terms, revenue earned in March 2019 was paid out roughly around the 15th of April 2019. On Net-45 payout terms, revenue earned in March 2019 would have been paid out roughly around the 15th of May 2019.


 * What is the minimum amount of earnings required to be eligible for Net-15 payout?
 * You will be eligible for payout once your accrued revenue balance reaches $100. If you do not make over $100 in a given calendar month, we will roll over the balance to the next month until this minimum threshold is met. For more information, please see our Partner and Affiliate Payout FAQs.


 * Who is eligible for Net-15 payout?
 * All eligible Partners, Affiliates, as well as Extension Developers who are paid through Bits or Subs enabled Extensions will be eligible for Net-15 payout.


 * Do I need to do anything to sign-up for Net-15 payout?
 * No, Partners, Affiliates, and Extensions Developers do not need to sign up to receive payout on a Net-15 basis.


 * Which earnings are eligible for Net-15 payouts?
 * For Creators, your applicable earnings from Subscriptions, Ads, Bits, and Bounties are eligible for Net-15 payout. For Extension Developers, earnings from Bits or Subs enabled extensions are eligible for Net-15 payout.


 * Will I get all my earnings on Net-15 payout terms?
 * We may need to do additional processing on a portion of your earnings to verify transactions. In these cases, we will pay that portion of your earnings 45 days after our verification. Depending on the verification required, this will take a minimum of 45 days and may take more as necessary. The rest of your earnings will be unaffected and paid out on Net-15 basis. We have added a section on the Payout History Dashboard that provides additional details on the timing of your Twitch Prime Subscriptions payout. This section can be accessed by clicking on the View Payout History button on your channel analytics page (as shown below) or you can use this link. Please note: All the amounts in this dashboard are estimates.
 * Why is my payout not matching the dashboard amount?
 * The revenue dashboard on the Channel Analytics page is an estimate and not a final settlement for payout. Twitch Prime subs can take up to 45 days after the end of the month to be processed for your payout due to some additional checks that may need to be made. These components will be included in the revenue dashboard but we will pay out the revenue that qualifies in the next payout cycle.


 * What payout did I receive in the month of April 2019?
 * April 2019 was a transition month. Eligible Creators were paid out for both their February 2019 and March 2019 earnings, assuming they met the $100 payout threshold in each of those months. Please note that this amount was transferred as two separate transactions.


 * Which payout methods are supported for Net-15 payouts?
 * All existing payout methods, ACH, Check, PayPal, eCheck and Wire, are supported on Net-15 payouts. Depending on your payout method, additional time may be needed before the payout has been deposited. Please refer to this page for timeline of different payout methods.


 * Did my payout fees change?
