How much does xQc make from KCIP? Streamer shows numbers
Felix “xQc” Lengyel is one of the biggest and most popular content creators in the entire livestreaming industry, and he has now revealed exactly how much money he earns from Kick’s vaunted and lucrative KCIP program.
Kick may be the newer livestreaming platform compared to its chief competitors, but it has made a name for itself with its higher revenue share and larger potential payout opportunities for its streamers. xQc has been with Kick for years now, after he reportedly was signed a deal that had a potential value of more than $100 million. The streamer’s deal wasn’t exclusive despite being so lucrative, and he has continued to stream on both Kick and Twitch while making money on both platforms.
xQc has now shared details of exactly how much money he makes on Kick through the KCIP, surprising some viewers with his high earnings.
How much did xQc make in December from KCIP?
xQc revealed during a Kick stream that he had made $131,230.44 in the month of December from the KCIP alone, with a few days still remaining in the month.
The streamer stated that he hadn’t revealed how much he makes from KCIP because he had been analyzing the numbers himself to better understand them and make sure that they’re 100% correct before sharing them publicly. He then displayed his earnings and a breakdown of the elements that contributed to his total KCIP payout.
xQc received $1,260.84 from subscriptions, $1,014.36 from gifted subscriptions, and $609.54 from chat engagement. But the largest contributor to his xQc’s Kick earnings by far was the partner income, or KCIP, which totaled to $128,345.70.

The streamer isn’t new to the huge earnings that are possible from creating and streaming content. xQc has previously revealed that he used to earn roughly
$40,000 on Twitch
on a “bad day.” While discussing his Kick earnings, xQc has stated that people put impossible standards on Kick compared to Twitch, as the Stake-backed platform gives creators more revenue in part to compensate for it not running ads.
His chat reacted to the comment about ads by stating that CEO Eddie Crave has revealed
Kick will feature ads in the future. xQc still supported Kick and stated that the ads won’t be as intrusive as some viewers might think, and that even if ads are added, they still shouldn’t complain.
The streamer also compared his revenue to Zach “Asmongold” Hoyt, who made approximately $95,000 by
multistreaming on Kick
and Twitch. This higher potential revenue is one of the biggest reasons for many popular creators switching to Kick or starting to multistream content their content on the platform, and so long as streamers like xQc and Asmongold continue pulling in big numbers like these, it’s likely that we’ll continue to see more streamers make the jump.
