Coins vs diamonds, in one line
Coins are what you buy. Diamonds are what the creator receives. They are the same number at the gift level — a Galaxy costs 1,000 coins to send and lands as 1,000 diamonds — but the per-unit rates differ, and that difference is TikTok's platform cut. If you're trying to work out a creator's earnings rather than your own spend, the diamonds calculator is the one you want.
Why the app charges more than the website
Apple and Google take roughly 30% of every in-app purchase, and that lands on the coin price. Buying coins at tiktok.com avoids the app-store fee, so the same bundle is typically cheaper there. It changes nothing for the creator: their payout is computed from diamonds received, not from what you paid to get the coins.
We don't publish exact bundle prices. They move, they differ by country, and we don't observe purchases — we only see gifts arrive on live streams. Everything we state as measured comes from 375,226 real gift events; everything else on this page is labelled as an estimate. Full workings on our methodology page.

How much is 1,000 coins on TikTok?
Two answers, and most calculators only give one. Buying 1,000 coins costs roughly $10.00 — it varies by country and is noticeably cheaper on tiktok.com than in the app, because Apple and Google take about 30% of in-app purchases. Spending those 1,000 coins on gifts gives the creator 1,000 diamonds, which cash out at $5.00. The difference between the two is TikTok's cut.
How much is 1 TikTok coin worth?
About $0.01 to buy, and about $0.005 to the creator once you spend it on a gift. A coin is not a fixed-price token: what you pay depends on the bundle you buy, your country, and whether you buy in-app or on the web. The creator-side rate is the firmer number, because TikTok publishes it.
Are TikTok coins and diamonds the same thing?
They're two sides of one number. Coins are what viewers buy and spend; diamonds are what creators receive and cash out. Every gift has the same face value in both — a Galaxy is 1,000 coins to send and 1,000 diamonds received. The rates differ ($0.01 vs $0.005), and that difference is where TikTok's ~50% platform cut lives.
Why are coins cheaper on the TikTok website than in the app?
Because Apple's App Store and Google Play take roughly 30% of every in-app purchase, and that cost is passed on. Buying coins at tiktok.com skips the app-store fee, so the same bundle typically costs meaningfully less. It makes no difference to the creator — their payout is calculated from diamonds, not from what you paid.
How much does the creator actually get from my coins?
Half, near enough. Coins you spend become diamonds one-for-one at the gift's face value, and diamonds cash out at TikTok's published $0.005 each. So 10,000 coins spent on gifts is about $100 out of your pocket and about $50 into theirs. Don't apply the 50% cut twice — it's already inside the $0.005 rate.
Do you publish exact coin package prices?
No, deliberately. Coin bundle prices change and differ by country and store, and we don't observe purchases — we only see gifts land on live streams. We publish what we measure: gift values, taken from 375,226 real gift events. The dollar figures here are labelled midpoints, not quotes.
