The most common question from beginners: "How much can I actually earn?" Instead of promises — here are the real payout tables used to calculate the income of official LiveMe hosts. No magic: diamonds (the in-app gift currency) convert to dollars at a fixed rate, and the platform adds a salary and bonuses on top.
How a host's income works
During streams viewers send gifts — they are credited to you in diamonds 💎. The rate is fixed: 350 diamonds = $1. Everything you receive converts at this rate — that's your base income. But an official agency host gets two extra payments on top:
- Agency salary — effectively a doubling of everything you earned in a month. Example: you earned 10,000 💎 — the agency adds ~10,500 💎 on top, i.e. $30. Condition: meet the norm of 15 days / 30 hours of streams and at least 10,000 💎;
- Bonus from the 3rd month (Commitment Bonus) — an extra payment for stable hosts, starting from 200,000 diamonds per month.

Earnings on video calls
A separate income stream — private video calls with viewers. Diamonds from calls convert at the same rate, plus there is a separate bonus. Bonus conditions: answer at least 70% of incoming calls, with an average call duration of 100+ seconds.

|---|---|---|---|
| 10 000 | $29 | $5 | $34 |
| 30 000 | $86 | $15 | $101 |

What it means in practice
A beginner streaming 1–2 hours a day usually reaches 50,000–100,000 diamonds in the first month or two — that's $290–540 including the salary. Hosts who stream 3–4 hours and build a loyal audience consistently sit at 200,000–500,000 diamonds ($1,000–2,600/month). The top rows of the table are the reality of established top hosts.
Payouts arrive via Payoneer: gift earnings can be withdrawn any day from $55, salary and bonuses are credited on the 5th–10th of each month.
Conditions and important details
- First withdrawal — from 17,500 💎 (that's $50). After that — any day from $55 accumulated;
- Withdrawal methods: Payoneer, Epay, Advcash (Volet) or a crypto wallet;
- Salary and bonuses are credited in the first days of the following month (usually the 4th–5th);
- Salary condition: at least 15 days and 30 hours of streams per month. A day counts when the stream is 1+ hour;
- The agency day runs on the platform's California time. Streams crossing the day border count as one day — keep it in mind when planning;
- On the 1st the monthly stats reset — your diamonds stay with you (and the profile counter keeps growing), but the monthly count for the salary table starts over.
Missed the monthly requirement: what happens to your salary
The rules depend on how many diamonds you collected that month. The threshold is 100,000 💎:
- Under 100,000 💎 and the requirement (15 days / 30 hours) not met — the agency salary for that month is not paid. Your diamonds from gifts remain yours and can be withdrawn as usual;
- 100,000 💎 or more — the rule is softer: the salary is still paid even with the requirement unmet, but with deductions:
- minus 20% for each missing day: 14 days instead of 15 — salary −20%, 13 days — −40%, and so on;
- minus 50% if you didn't reach 30 hours.
Two bonus programs since October 2025
Since October 1, 2025, official hosts have two independent bonus programs: for public streams and for video calls. Days and hours count in the shared stats, while diamonds are counted separately — qualify in both directions and you receive both salaries separately.
