Tiktok Level Chart Guide: Complete List of Tiers, Coins, and Perks
By Elena Rostova
The path from a viewer’s wallet to a creator's bank account passes through multiple platform conversions. A gifter purchases coins using fiat currency. When that gift lands in the live room, TikTok converts those coins into streamer gift points.
These gift points generate Diamonds, the platform's internal accounting metric for talent compensation. As a general rule, creators receive 50% of the gross coin value in Diamonds. TikTok retains the remaining 50% as platform operational revenue. Each Diamond holds an official cash redemption value of $0.005 USD.
Consider a viewer sending a TikTok Universe gift, which costs roughly 34,999 coins ($365, $490 USD depending on purchase source). The creator receives approximately 17,500 Diamonds. At $0.005 per Diamond, the streamer cashes out roughly $87.50 to $175.00 before third-party payment gateway fees and regional taxes. This conversion chain forms the foundation of modern creator monetization metrics.
