What Every TikTok Gift Is Worth (Rose to Universe)
Gift values are fixed, so the gift name tells you the size of the support instantly. Here's what the popular ones are worth — to the viewer who sends them and the creator who receives them.
Every TikTok LIVE gift has a fixed coin price, so the gift name alone tells you how big the support was. A Rose is always 1 coin; a Universe is always 44,999. Once you know a few, you can read the value of any gift the moment it lands.
Here’s what the popular ones are worth — for the viewer who buys them and the creator who receives them.
Every popular gift, cheapest to most expensive
TikTok runs 100+ gifts and rotates seasonal ones in and out, but most live activity flows through a familiar set. Here they are from a 1-coin Rose to the screen-filling Universe, with what each costs the viewer to send and what it’s worth to the creator who receives it.
| Gift | Coins | Viewer pays | Creator earns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rose | 1 | ~$0.01 | <$0.01 |
| Finger Heart | 5 | ~$0.05 | ~$0.03 |
| Perfume | 20 | ~$0.21 | ~$0.10 |
| I Love You | 49 | ~$0.51 | ~$0.25 |
| Confetti | 100 | ~$1.04 | ~$0.50 |
| Sunglasses | 199 | ~$2.07 | ~$1.00 |
| Money Rain | 500 | ~$5.20 | ~$2.50 |
| Galaxy | 1,000 | ~$10.40 | ~$5.00 |
| Mermaid | 2,988 | ~$31 | ~$15 |
| Airplane | 6,000 | ~$62 | ~$30 |
| Sports Car | 7,000 | ~$73 | ~$35 |
| Planet | 15,000 | ~$156 | ~$75 |
| Diamond Flight | 18,000 | ~$187 | ~$90 |
| Lion | 29,999 | ~$312 | ~$150 |
| TikTok Universe | 44,999 | ~$468 | ~$225 |
Figures are approximate. Coin prices vary by bundle, purchase method (web is cheaper than in-app), and region, and creator payouts depend on TikTok’s current diamond rate — so treat every number as a close estimate. TikTok also adjusts gift coin costs periodically. Need a different amount, or a gift that isn’t listed? Run it through the Coin → USD calculator.
Why “viewer pays” and “creator earns” differ
Two columns, because a gift is worth two different things:
- Viewer pays = the coins the gift costs, at roughly $0.0104 per coin.
- Creator earns = the diamonds it converts to, worth about $0.005 each — roughly half, because TikTok takes a platform fee.
If that split is new to you, read Coins vs Diamonds first — it’s the foundation everything else sits on.
Small gifts vs. big gifts
It’s tempting to chase the screen-filling gifts, but the two ends of the table do different jobs:
- Small, frequent gifts (Rose, Finger Heart) are your engagement signal — lots of people showing up and participating. Volume here means a healthy, active room.
- Large gifts (Lion, Universe) are your revenue concentration — a single tap can be worth more than hundreds of Roses. A handful of big gifters often drive the majority of a creator’s diamonds.
You want both: a lively room that keeps big gifters entertained, and the big gifters who turn that energy into real income.
What counts as a “big” gift?
A useful rule of thumb: anything 1,000 coins or more (Galaxy and up) is a deliberate, high-intent gift — the sender chose to spend real money on you in one tap. Below that, gifts are mostly engagement — cheap, frequent taps that signal a lively room. The flagship gifts (Lion, Universe) are rare enough that a single one can outweigh an entire stream’s worth of small gifts, which is exactly why knowing who sends them matters more than the totals.
How creators cash out diamonds
Gifts don’t pay out as the gift — they pay out as diamonds, the balance you can withdraw:
- Gifts convert to diamonds in your balance as they land (1 coin of gift value = 1 diamond).
- You withdraw once you clear TikTok’s minimum balance and have a verified, linked payout method (e.g. PayPal). Minimums, hold periods, and limits vary by region and change over time.
- A diamond is worth about half a coin at withdrawal (~$0.005), because TikTok keeps a platform fee — so the dollars you withdraw are roughly half what the table’s “viewer pays” column shows. If you’re signed to an agency, your agreed split comes out of your diamond share on top of that.

The takeaway
- Gift prices are fixed — the name is the value.
- Always read gifts in two currencies: what it cost the sender, and what it’s worth to you (about half).
- Volume (small gifts) and concentration (big gifts) are both signals worth watching — they tell you different things about your room.
Knowing the table by heart means you can feel the value of a stream in real time — and spot the moment a big gifter shows up.
