How TikTok diamonds, coins, and creator fees work
When a viewer buys coins, TikTok charges roughly $1 per 200 coins on the web checkout (mobile prices vary by store fees - $1 is often closer to 70-100 coins on iOS/Android due to App Store taxes). Each LIVE gift costs the viewer a fixed number of coins, and when the gift lands on a creator's stream it's converted into diamonds - TikTok's internal accounting currency.
Creators cash out diamonds at 1 diamond = $0.005 (half a US cent). That means TikTok keeps roughly 50% of the gross the viewer paid - the other half pays the creator. A 1,000-diamond gift cost the viewer around $10 and pays the creator $5. This split has been stable since 2020.
Important: creator payouts are before TikTok's own platform deductions (LIVE host program splits, region multipliers, agency cuts if the creator is signed). Final take-home in a creator's account can be 20-40% lower than the gross diamond value times $0.005, depending on agency contract terms.
