What it adds up to at scale
Yearly take-home at a $50 average sale price, by monthly sales volume.
At 100 sales/month, ChikiPay creators keep $3,000/year more than they would on OnlyFans or Fansly's flat 20% cut — and the gap only widens with volume.

|---|---|---|---|
| 20/mo | $10,200 | $9,600 | +$600 |
| 50/mo | $25,500 | $24,000 | +$1,500 |
| 100/mo | $51,000 | $48,000 | +$3,000 |
| 250/mo | $127,500 | $120,000 | +$7,500 |
