Chaturbate for Performers: Payouts, Schedule and Fees
This page may contain affiliate links. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate Disclosure
Chaturbate is one of the largest tip-based ("freemium") cam platforms. Viewers buy tokens and tip during free public shows, and broadcasters can also run private, spy and ticket shows. This page sticks to what Chaturbate publishes in its own support center.
How you earn
- Token value for broadcasters: each token you receive is worth $0.05 to you.
- Earnings come from tips, private and group shows, ticket shows and fan club subscriptions.
- If you broadcast through a studio account, tokens go to the studio, which then pays you under your agreement with it.
Pay periods and timing
- Two pay periods per month: the 1st to the 15th and the 16th to the end of the month.
- Payments are sent within 7 business days after the period closes.
- Daily payouts are available to eligible broadcasters: $20 minimum and a $3.95 fee per payout. US broadcasters become eligible after 2 regular payouts, international broadcasters after 4.

Who it suits
Chaturbate rewards consistency and community building in public rooms. The free-to-watch model means big audiences but also many non-paying viewers, so goal-based tipping, interactive toys and a clear room menu matter. See our guide to choosing a cam site and the payout comparison.
Payout rules change. Always confirm current terms in your own model dashboard and the platform's official pages before relying on any figure here.
