1. A ROLLING WINDOW, NOT STREAM-BY-STREAM
Rates are calculated over a rolling window of your recent streams, including the one currently live, rather than recalculated from scratch every session.
RECENT STREAMS |
| CURRENT STREAM |
| YOUR RATE |
Builds progressively. Earnings build over time rather than resetting each time you go live. | Steady, not swingy. One unusually quiet or busy stream doesn't move your rate on its own. |
Predictable. Your recent track record gives you a reasonable sense of expected earnings before you go live. | Rewards consistency. A genuine, sustained audience counts for more than a short-term spike. |
2. WHAT GOES INTO THE RATE
FACTOR | WHAT IT MEANS |
Average audience | Your average audience across the recent rolling window. |
Content factors | Factors specific to your content, such as language and region. |
Genuine engagement only | Views, followers or watch time from bots, coordinated inauthentic accounts or engagement tools are never counted. |
SUPPORTING YOUR GROWTH The current KPP is based on rewarding consistency. We want Kick to be the primary home for premium content. The Kick Partner Program is built around sustainable growth. While results build over time, consistent streaming delivers scalable revenue that directly reflects your ongoing dedication. |
WHY WE DON'T PUBLISH THE FORMULA Publishing the exact formula or weighting would make it easier to reverse-engineer ways to inflate short-term numbers instead of building a real audience, at the direct expense of creators earning fairly. |
3. REVIEWING YOUR RATE
If your payout looks different from what you expected, contact Support. The most common cause of an unexpected change is irregular activity affecting a channel's numbers, so we check for that first before looking at anything else.
