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 99 coins for the Paper Crane cost about $1.03 to $1.49. The creator receives 99 diamonds, and diamonds cash out at an estimated $0.005 each, so $0.495 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.
