In this panel, you can review your estimated tax withholding. By law, Twitch must withhold certain portions of your payout for tax and legal purposes. This amount will vary depending on your location and the rules that apply to your country. In your payout dashboard, you can mouse over the (i) for more information.
Your Estimated Net Balance can be impacted by additional factors such as bank fees. The dashboard update nears the 12th of every month.

Payout amounts in your payout history may not exactly match with what you see in your Earnings Analytics (link.twitch.tv/RevenueAnalytics page.
