TikTok LIVE Gift and Diamond Split Formulas

When viewers gift on TikTok LIVE, they buy coins with real money. The creator receives Diamonds (1 Diamond per coin), which are cashable at a rate of 0.5 cents each ($0.005), reflecting a 50% platform split of the base diamond value ($0.01).

Viewer Coin Cost = Coins Gifted × (Coin Purchase Rate per Coin)
Diamonds Earned = Coins Gifted
Gross Diamond Value (USD) = Diamonds Earned × $0.01
TikTok Platform Split = Gross Diamond Value × (Platform Cut % ÷ 100)
Streamer Net Payout = Gross Diamond Value - TikTok Platform Split - Payment Processor Fee
Viewer Markup % = ((Viewer Coin Cost - Gross Diamond Value) ÷ Gross Diamond Value) × 100
Effective Creator Payout % = (Streamer Net Payout ÷ Viewer Coin Cost) × 100

TikTok takes a standard 50% platform cut on live diamond exchanges. In addition, buying coins via the TikTok mobile app is subject to Apple/Google app store fees (around 30% markup) compared to buying on the web.
