How we count Kick earnings
StreamReceipt counts the gifts and subscriptions Kick reports for each channel through its official event webhooks, prices each one (100 Kicks is about $1.00, one sub is $4.99) and applies Kick's advertised 95/5 creator split. The result is an estimate of the creator's payout from gifts and subscriptions, updated about 1.5 seconds behind the stream.

What is counted
- Kicks gifts, valued at about $0.01 per Kick.
- New subscriptions and renewals, at $4.99 each.
- Gifted subscriptions, counted per sub (a 20-sub bomb is 20 subs).
- Kick's advertised 95/5 split, applied to every event to estimate what the creator keeps.
What is not counted
- Sponsorships, brand deals and affiliate income.
- Kick's creator incentive and partner program pay.
- Tips sent outside Kick (PayPal, Streamlabs and similar).
- Ad revenue and merchandise sales.
- Anything that happened before StreamReceipt started tracking a channel.
Because of these gaps, a creator's real income is usually higher than the total shown. Treat every figure as a floor, not a full picture.
What about Kick's incentive pay (KCIP)?
Kick pays some partner streamers an hourly incentive on top of subs and Kicks. Kick sets that rate privately for each creator and does not publish it.
Because the rate is not public, StreamReceipt never estimates incentive pay for a named streamer. Our figures cover subs, gifted subs and Kicks only, so real income can be higher. Streamers who know their own rate can add it in the earnings calculator.
Which channels we cover
Every few minutes we read Kick's official list of live streams and add the most-watched channels to our directory, with their viewers, category and language. Gifts and subs are counted live for channels we track: the top channels and any channel a StreamReceipt user follows. A channel page says clearly when we list it but are not counting its gifts yet.
Timing and freshness
Events reach a creator page about 1.5 seconds after Kick announces them. Every creator page shows whether the channel is live and when the current or last session started. Rankings over 24 hours and 7 days are recalculated every 30 seconds.
Whale stamps and spikes
A line gets a whale stamp when a single gift or gift bomb is worth $25.00 or more in estimated payout. A spike is a burst of paid events in a short window, which usually means a sub train or a big moment on stream.

Frequently asked questions
- Where does StreamReceipt get its data?
- From Kick itself. Kick sends every Kicks gift, subscription, gifted subscription, follow and live or offline change through its official developer webhooks, and StreamReceipt records those events. Follower counts and past streams come from Kick's public channel pages, and live channels from Kick's official list of live streams. It does not use private data or creator logins.
- How is a Kick gift converted to dollars?
- One Kick is valued at about $0.01 of viewer spend, so 100 Kicks is about $1.00. After Kick's 95/5 split the creator's share is about $0.95 per 100 Kicks.
- How is a subscription converted to dollars?
- A Tier 1 monthly sub costs $4.99. After the 95/5 split the creator's estimated share is $4.74 per sub. Gifted subs are counted per sub, so a 20-sub gift bomb counts as 20.
- Can a creator page be corrected or removed?
- Yes. Email [email protected] and we will review the request.
