Watch a creator's payout climb in USD while the live is happening.
TikMonitor sums every gift event in a stream and converts diamonds to USD at TikTok's payout rate, live. You also see who sent what: the gift feed carries sender usernames, so top-gifter patterns are visible across sessions. History is stored, so you can compare this week's lives to last week's.

Watch the gift counter and multiply by $0.005.
TikTok shows a diamond count on live streams and on creators' profiles after a live. One diamond pays the creator about half a cent: 100,000 diamonds is roughly $500 take-home. Our free diamonds calculator does the conversion and lists what every gift is worth.

Which one should you pick?
For live income specifically, real-time gift data beats estimates: TikMonitor if you want it automated with history and alerts, manual diamond math if it's a one-off. Leaderboards and follower calculators answer different questions (rankings and sponsorship rates).
How much is one TikTok diamond worth?
About $0.005 to the creator. TikTok keeps roughly half of what viewers spend on coins; the $0.005-per-diamond payout rate already reflects that cut. So 200 diamonds is about $1 take-home for the creator.
How much can a TikTok Live make in one stream?
The range is enormous. Most small creators make a few dollars per live. Established creators in gifting-heavy niches regularly clear hundreds per session, and top streamers' multi-hour lives can run into the thousands. Watching the diamond counter on a few streams in your niche gives a truer picture than any average.
Are TikTok Live earnings public?
The gift events are. Every viewer's client receives each gift with its diamond value, which is why third-party tools can sum them. The creator's final payout (after withdrawal fees and regional adjustments) is private, but diamonds × $0.005 tracks it closely.
Do creators know when you track their lives?
No. Tracking tools read the same public stream every viewer gets. There is no notification, no follow, and no login involved.
