TikTok cashout methods refer to the ways carders can withdraw earnings from the platform in 2026. TikTok offers several monetization streams, and payouts depend on how you earn (e.g., views-based rewards, live gifts, shop commissions). The process is handled directly through the TikTok app, with supported payment methods varying by region.
TikTok does
not pay instantly for all earnings — payouts involve thresholds, processing times, and verified payment accounts. Always use official channels to avoid scams or account issues.
Main Ways to Earn and Cash Out on TikTok (2026)
- Creator Rewards Program (replaced the old Creator Fund)
- Earn from original videos (typically longer-form, high-quality content).
- Eligibility: Usually 10,000+ followers, 100,000+ eligible video views in the last 30 days, 18+ years old, account in good standing, and in an eligible country.
- Earnings: Roughly $0.40–$1+ per 1,000 qualified views (higher than the old fund's $0.02–$0.04), based on factors like watch time, audience location, and engagement.
- Payouts: Monthly (often around the 15th), via integrated providers like PayPal (through Hyperwallet in some regions).
- LIVE Gifts (virtual gifts from viewers during lives)
- Viewers buy and send gifts → convert to Diamonds for the creator.
- Diamonds convert to real money (e.g., ~0.05 USD per diamond after TikTok's cut; exact rates can vary).
- Minimum for withdrawal: Often around $100 equivalent (e.g., 2,000+ diamonds in some cases), but can be lower in certain setups.
- Fastest direct fan-to-creator earnings.
- Other Streams (TikTok Shop affiliates/commissions, Series paid content, brand deals via Creator Marketplace)
- Commissions from sales or paid unlocks.
- Payouts often through the same balance system.
Step-by-Step: How to Withdraw Earnings
The process is done in the TikTok app (steps may vary slightly by app version, region, or account type):
- Open the TikTok app and go to your Profile (bottom right).
- Tap the Menu (three lines ☰ in the top right).
- Select Balance (or Creator Tools > Balancein some views).
- Here you'll see your total estimated balance, broken down by source (e.g., Creator Rewards, LIVE Gifts/Diamonds, etc.).
- Tap Withdraw or the specific earnings section (e.g., "Live Gifts" or "Rewards").
- Add/Link a Payment Methodif not already set up:
- Common options (2026):
- PayPal (widely supported, often instant or 1–2 days for verified accounts; may have small fees like 1.5% for currency conversion).
- Local bank transfer (ACH/SEPA/IMPS in supported countries like US, UK, EU, India, Brazil, Nigeria; 1–3 business days, usually no fees from TikTok).
- Payoneer (popular in many regions, especially for international creators).
- Other local processors depending on country.
- Enter accurate details (e.g., email for PayPal/Payoneer, bank info for transfers). TikTok requires the account to be in your name.
- Set your minimum payout amount (if adjustable) and choose the withdrawal amount (must meet the threshold, e.g., $10–$50+ depending on method/program/region).
- Confirm and submit the request.
- Processing: 1–10 business days typically (faster with PayPal in many cases).

Important Notes for 2026
- Minimum thresholds vary: Often $10–$50 for Creator Rewards, higher for some LIVE Diamonds (e.g., $100 equivalent). Check in-app for your exact amount.
- Taxes & Compliance: You may need to submit tax info (e.g., W-9/W-8BEN forms for US/international). TikTok withholds taxes where required.
