TikTok Coin Calculator — Cost & Creator Earnings (2026)<br>Built for TikTok creators<br>TikTok Coin Calculator

Compare what viewers may pay for TikTok Coins on Web and mobile with<br>what a creator may earn when those Coins are spent on gifts.

Reference estimates only. TikTok says Coin cost varies by purchase<br>quantity and channel; actual creator rewards and withdrawal costs may<br>also vary.

For viewers<br>Why Web and App Coin Prices Differ

TikTok Coins do not have one universal purchase price. This calculator<br>uses a Web reference of $0.01–$0.0105<br>per Coin and a mobile-app reference of<br>$0.0135 per Coin .

1,000-Coin purchase estimate Web: $10.00–$10.50 · App: $13.50 The price displayed at TikTok checkout is authoritative.

TikTok’s official policy confirms that Coins can be purchased through<br>App Stores or its WebApp, and that the cost per Coin differs depending<br>on how many you buy and where you buy them.

For creators<br>Purchase Price Is Not Creator Payout

The viewer’s purchase channel changes what the viewer pays, but it<br>does not change this calculator’s creator estimate. Creator earnings<br>are calculated directly at $0.005<br>per Coin spent on gifts .

Creator earnings estimate 1,000 gifted Coins → $5.00 creator earnings Before withdrawal fees, taxes, and currency conversion.

We do not subtract another 50% fee from Web or App purchase cost.<br>Doing so would mix the viewer-side price with the creator-side payout<br>and produce different earnings for the same gift.

The purchase columns estimate what viewers may pay for Coins. The final<br>column estimates what a creator may earn after those Coins are spent on<br>gifts.

TikTok Coins Web purchase App purchase Creator earnings 100 gift Coins $1.00–$1.05 $1.35 $0.50 500 gift Coins $5.00–$5.25 $6.75 $2.50 1,000 gift Coins $10.00–$10.50 $13.50 $5.00 5,000 gift Coins $50.00–$52.50 $67.50 $25.00 10,000 gift Coins $100.00–$105.00 $135.00 $50.00 50,000 gift Coins $500.00–$525.00 $675.00 $250.00 100,000 gift Coins $1000.00–$1050.00 $1350.00 $500.00

Choose the right input<br>Which TikTok Coin Number Should You Enter?

Enter the total Coins viewers spent on gifts for your content. For<br>example, 1 Rose commonly costs 1 Coin, so 10,000 Roses represent<br>10,000 gift Coins.

A viewer may pay about $100–$105 for 10,000 Coins on TikTok Web or<br>about $135 in the mobile app. If those Coins are spent on gifts, the<br>creator earnings estimate is $50.

If TikTok already shows an estimated reward in your account, use that<br>number instead. This calculator is designed for quick planning from a<br>gift Coin total.

Keep the two sides separate<br>Why One Coin Has More Than One Dollar Value

Viewers purchase Coins and use them to send gifts. The price paid by a<br>viewer is not the same as the amount a creator receives.

Creators do not receive the viewer's Coins directly. Some creator-reported<br>examples show a 1-Coin Gift producing about 1 Diamond, but TikTok does not<br>publish a guaranteed universal Gift-to-Diamond conversion rate.

Actual rewards can depend on account eligibility, region, program<br>terms, fees, and TikTok's current policies. Check Profile → Menu →<br>Balance → LIVE rewards before making a withdrawal decision.

Creator earnings reality check<br>What Does a Creator Actually Receive?

In two creator-reported examples, a 1,000-Coin Gift produced approximately<br>1,000 Diamonds and about $5 in estimated creator rewards .<br>However, a US viewer may spend around $14–$15 to acquire<br>those Coins through the TikTok iOS app.
