Mathematical Audit

Kick Hourly Pay Projection Formula

Earnings are calculated by combining KCIP hourly pay, subscription revenue (95/5 split), and tips/donations (100% kept).

Monthly KCIP Pay = Hourly Rate × Weekly Stream Hours × 4.33
Monthly Sub Revenue = Active Subs × $4.99 × 0.95
Monthly Tips = Avg Tips per Stream × Streams per Week × 4.33
Total Monthly Income = KCIP Pay + Sub Revenue + Tips
Effective Hourly Rate = Total Monthly Income ÷ (Weekly Hours × 4.33)

Kick's 95/5 revenue split means creators keep $4.74 per $4.99 Tier 1 sub. Tips and donations are passed through at 100% with no platform cut. KCIP hourly rates range from $16 to $32 depending on tier.
