How much is a Galaxy worth on TikTok?
Galaxy · 1,000 coins

A Galaxy costs 1,000 TikTok coins — about $14.20 when the fan buys coins in the app, or $12.50 on TikTok's website. The creator who receives it gets roughly $5.00 after TikTok's ~50% cut, so about 35% of what the fan paid actually reaches the creator.
The Galaxy is the most-searched big gift on TikTok: 1,000 coins, a full-screen shooting-star animation, and the traditional line between a supporter and a whale. Battles are often decided by who lands more Galaxies.
