How Much Is a TikTok Coin Worth?
One TikTok coin costs about $0.0104 on the TikTok website and about $0.013 in the mobile app. Viewers spend coins on LIVE gifts, and the creator who receives the gift gets roughly $0.005 per coin once it converts to Diamonds and cashes out.
That gap is the number most people miss. A viewer who spends $13 in the app on 1,000 coins of gifts puts about $5 in the creator's pocket. The calculator above shows both sides for any coin amount or gift.
TikTok Coin Prices
US prices for TikTok coin packs when you recharge on the TikTok website. The app charges more for the same coins because Apple and Google add their store fee.
| Coins | Web price | App price (approx.) | Price per coin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 | $0.31 | $0.40 | $0.0103 |
| 350 | $3.65 | $4.65 | $0.0104 |

How to buy TikTok coins cheaper
- Recharge on tiktok.com/coin in a browser instead of inside the app. TikTok says this saves around 25 percent.
- Buy a larger pack only if you will use it. The price per coin barely changes between packs, so there is no bulk discount worth chasing.
- Coins are tied to your account and cannot be refunded or moved, so avoid third-party sellers offering coins below TikTok's price.

Coins, Diamonds, and What Creators Keep
Money moves through three steps before a creator is paid.
- Viewer buys coins. Cheapest on tiktok.com. The app adds Apple or Google store fees.
- Coins become Diamonds. When a gift lands, the creator receives Diamonds worth roughly half the coin value.
- Diamonds cash out. Each Diamond is worth about $0.005 and is withdrawn from the Rewards section of the app. Convert a balance with the TikTok Diamonds Calculator.
LIVE gifts are one income stream. Most creators earn more from Creator Rewards and brand deals. See the full picture with the TikTok Money Calculator.
