The **Earnings **page gives you a transparent view of your referral program performance and accumulated rewards. Here’s what each section means:&#x20;

* **Current Balance:** This is the amount you’ve earned so far from your referred users but **haven’t been paid out yet. **It keeps growing as your referrals continue to use the platform.&#x20;
* **Total Earnings**: This shows your **lifetime earnings **the total amount you’ve earned from all your referrals since you joined the earnings program or started hosting. It includes both paid and unpaid amounts.&#x20;
* **Total Referral Count**: This number represents the **total users you’ve referred **who have successfully created accounts through your referral link. It’s a great way to track how your outreach is growing!&#x20;
* **Total Rental Earnings **(host only)**: **This shows the total lifetime amount you’ve earned from your machine being rented out on the platform.&#x20;
* **Total Referral Earnings** (host only): This shows the total lifetime amount you've earned from all your referrals.

Additionally, there is the **Earning Chart** section that provides a clear visual overview of your earning history.
