How TikTok LIVE earnings are estimated

Gifts
viewers × hours × gifting % × average gift
Most viewers never gift. A small share sends most of the coins, so the gifting rate and average gift matter most.
Payout
coins × 0.5 diamonds × $0.005
Creators report about 1 diamond per 2 coins and about $0.005 per diamond, roughly a quarter cent per coin gifted.

How much do TikTok streamers make per hour?

Most small streamers make a few dollars an hour from gifts. Large creators with loyal gifters can make far more.

Who can receive LIVE gifts?

Creators must be 18 or older and meet TikTok's LIVE requirements. Rules vary by region.

What share of gifts does a creator keep?

Roughly 18–25% of what viewers paid, after TikTok and app store fees.
