| Gifts sent | Coins | Buyer cost (approx.) | Diamonds to creator | Creator payout (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 x potato head | 150 | $1.50 | 150 | $0.75 |
| 10 x potato head | 1,500 | $15.00 | 1,500 | $7.50 |
| 100 x potato head | 15,000 | $150.00 | 15,000 | $75.00 |
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.
