The donations during live streams bring her more: each is $5, which results in about US$1-2,000, and the advertisements are estimated to earn her about US$8,000 monthly. In total, Pokimane’s Twitch salary is up to US$35,000 every month.

Yet, the streaming platform sometimes increases the amount popular streamers receive to motivate them to stay with Twitch. There have been examples of some streamers receiving upgrades to 60% and even 100% of the monthly subscription fee.

After the platform takes its cut, YouTubers end up with a US$2-7 profit for every 1,000 monetized views. These views encompass between 40% and 80% of the total views, but several factors affect these stats.
Examples include the type of content, ad engagement, type of ad, the number of people who skip the ads, the number of advertisements in a video, ad inventory, viewer’s location, device playing the ad, and more. Regardless, it is evident that Pokimane remains one of the most popular and highest-earning full-time female streamers in the industry.
Pokimerch As Another Source of Income
It’s impossible to know how much exactly income she generates from this source. Pokimane owns her own platform where she sells merch – clothes and other accessories with her name or pictures on them. On pokimerch website, you can find hoodies, pants, shirts, mousepads, and other fun stuff that cost between US$24.99 and US$44.99.
Estimated Amount of Income
Around 55,000 people visit the site monthly, and only 2% of them buy something (it’s usually that percentage of online buyers). That would be 1,100 buyers a month.
Let’s say that every person picks one item pricing $44.99 (and some people probably buy more than one), that would mean 1,100×44.99 = $49,489.
Of course, Pokimane doesn’t take all of it: after all the expenses, she’s left with around $9,900 of merch money every month. It’s not a definite number, it’s just roughly calculated, but Poki definitely knows how to run a business!

She’s paying several video editors, a person to maintain her social media, a general and a business manager, a talent agent, and an investment expert. The team is paid around US$240,000 every year.
