Where LIVE earnings come from
On LIVE, viewers send gifts that cost coins. Every gift is converted into diamonds for the creator, roughly one diamond per coin, and each diamond pays out about $0.005. The calculator adds up every gift so you can see a LIVE's value at a glance.
Small gifts add up
Most LIVEs are carried by small gifts sent in combos: a hundred Roses are worth as much as one 100-coin gift. Large gifts like the Lion are rare but change the total quickly: a single Lion earns the creator about $150.
Why viewers paid more than you receive
The viewer price shows a range: the low end is the tiktok.com price, the high end is the in-app price with the app store fee. Your share doesn't change with how viewers paid, because it's based on coins. TikTok keeps roughly half of the viewer's spend.
