TikTok Coin Calculator
Convert TikTok's gift economy into real money: what a gift costs the viewer in coins, how many diamonds it credits you, and what those diamonds pay out in dollars.
Gifting only starts once you can go LIVE, and that takes 1,000 followers.
The gift converts to 2,500 diamonds, paying you $12.5 of the $75 the viewer spent.
Constants verified July 2026: a diamond pays $0.005 and gifts credit at 50% of their coin value, so creators keep roughly a third of what viewers spend. Coins cost about $0.015 each in-app; recharging on tiktok.com runs roughly 30% cheaper because it skips app-store fees. TikTok's official terms allow one withdrawal per day via PayPal with small tiered minimums.
How this is calculated
The conversion chain uses TikTok's published economics, verified in July 2026. Viewers buy coins at roughly $0.015 each in-app, or about 30% less when recharging on tiktok.com, which skips the app-store fee. When a gift is sent, you receive diamonds worth 50% of its coin value, and each diamond pays $0.005 when you withdraw. Chained together, creators keep roughly a third of what viewers spend.
TikTok's official terms allow one withdrawal per day through PayPal, with small tiered minimums rather than one flat floor. Going LIVE, where nearly all gifting happens, requires 1,000 followers, and both hosting and gifting require being 18 or older.

Common questions
How much is a TikTok coin worth?
Viewers pay about $0.015 per coin in-app, slightly less when recharging on tiktok.com. What reaches the creator is different: a gift credits diamonds at half its coin value, and each diamond pays $0.005.
How much are TikTok diamonds worth in USD?
Each diamond is worth $0.005 when withdrawn, so 10,000 diamonds pay $50 and 200 diamonds pay $1. The calculator converts any balance instantly.
How many followers do you need to go LIVE on TikTok?
1,000 followers, and you must be 18 or older to host a LIVE and to send or receive gifts (TikTok raised the age from 16 in 2022). Since LIVE is where the gift economy happens, the 1,000-follower gate is effectively the gate to gifting income.
