| Gifts sent | Coins | Buyer cost (approx.) | Diamonds to creator | Creator payout (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 x Hug Me | 399 | $3.99 | 399 | $2.00 |
| 10 x Hug Me | 3,990 | $39.90 | 3,990 | $19.95 |
| 100 x Hug Me | 39,900 | $399.00 | 39,900 | $199.50 |
Buyer cost uses a reference rate of 100 coins per $1. TikTok sells coins in packs, and the price per coin depends on the pack size, the store and your region; web checkout and in-app purchases (which include app store fees) usually cost more than this rate. Creator payout uses $0.005 per diamond, before any agency share. Convert any amount with the diamonds calculator.
