Kick Subs Payout Calculator

Kick Subs Payout Calculator shows your take-home from subscriptions with straight, mobile-friendly tiles. Unlike Twitch’s typical 50/50 baseline for standard tiers, Kick uses a flat split where creators keep most of the sub price. Planning with a 95/5 split means you enter a 5% platform cut. On a $4.99 subscription, the estimator returns roughly $4.74 per sub before refunds, which is an easy mental rule of thumb when you set goals live.

• Start with clean inputs.
• Use the main tier price or a weighted average if you have multiple levels.
• Count paid subs for a consistent period such as a calendar month so your comparisons are apples to apples.
• If you do experience chargebacks or refunds, add a small percent so the projection mirrors settlement.
• Refunds reduce the base first, and then the platform fee applies, so you do not overstate net.

• If you also accept donation tips, enable the tips toggle and add the gross tips for the same period plus an estimated processor fee percent.
• Many processors use a percent plus a flat fee; using just the percent yields a conservative estimate.
• When you lack reliable tip numbers, leave the toggle off so the form stays simple for viewers, mods, and new creators.

• Use the results to steer stream structure.
• When subs net is steady but tips swing, anchor content around sub milestones, clear perks, and short windows that reward participation.
• If tips carry the total, schedule segments that naturally invite one-off support like reactions, community challenges, or visible progress bars.
• Revisit the platform cut and refunds every quarter; small percent changes compound into meaningful monthly differences.

• Track the story in a lightweight sheet: columns for date, sub price, paid subs, platform cut percent, refunds percent, tips gross, tip fee percent, and totals.
• Over time you will see patterns by day and theme and forecast runway with less guesswork.
• That history also helps you justify equipment buys, editor retainers, and sponsor slots with realistic ranges instead of optimistic single points.

This calculator is an educational planner. It does not model taxes, currency conversion, or processor flat fees. Treat the totals as a baseline for planning and status updates; refine with actual payout statements and local accounting rules as you grow.

• Sub gross = Price × Subs.
• Base after refunds = Sub gross × (1 − Refunds%).
• Platform fee = Base × Platform%.
• Net subs = Base − Platform fee.
• If tips are enabled: Tips net = Tips gross × (1 − Tip fee%).
• Total payout = Net subs + Tips net.
• With a 95/5 split, enter 5% as the platform cut to mirror Kick’s default.
