How we know
This isn't copied from another gift chart. TikTok puts the diamond value on every gift event it sends, and we monitor live streams directly, so we recorded the Money Gun 10,623 times between 2026-10-05 and 2026-10-08, inside a window of 1,805,979 gift events across 2,303 distinct gifts. If a gift isn't on this site, it's because we haven't seen it sent.
Where the money goes
In the US a coin costs about $0.0104 on tiktok.com and about $0.0151 in the iPhone app (prices checked 2026-10-28), so the 500 coins for the Money Gun cost about $5.20 to $7.55. The creator receives 500 diamonds, and diamonds cash out at an estimated $0.005 each, so $2.50 reaches the creator's wallet. The gap is TikTok's platform cut, and it is already inside the $0.005 rate. Don't halve it twice: that mistake is why so many gift charts quote half the real payout.
Coin prices vary by country and by whether the viewer buys in-app or on the web, so the viewer-side figure is a range. The creator payout is the firmer of the two numbers. Convert any amount with TikTok coins to USD, or read the full workings on our methodology page.
How much is a Money Gun on TikTok?
The Money Gun costs 500 TikTok coins, about $5.20 to $7.55 for the viewer who sends it in the US: coins are cheaper on tiktok.com than in the app, and prices vary by region. The creator receives 500 diamonds, worth about $2.50 at the industry-standard estimate of $0.005 per diamond. TikTok's cut is already in that figure, and TikTok publishes no official rate.
How much does the creator actually get from a Money Gun?
$2.50. Diamonds cash out at about $0.005 each and the Money Gun is worth 500 diamonds. That figure is take-home: TikTok's cut is already inside the $0.005 rate, so you do not subtract another 50%.

Yes. The Diamond Gun is a real TikTok gift that costs 5,000 coins (about $52 to $76 to send in the US, $25 to the creator).
