Stripchat Tipping Guide: How Much to Tip, Tip Menus and Goals
Tips are tokens you send to a model to show appreciation. Public shows are free to watch, so tips are how most models earn. This guide covers how to send one, how much people usually give, and how tip menus and goals work.

Sending a tip
- Create a free account and buy tokens. See how to get started.
- In the show you are watching, tap the Tip button.
- Enter the number of tokens. You can add a short message.
- Send it, and your tip appears in the chat.
Tips cannot be refunded. Check the number before you send it.
How much to tip
There is no set amount, and you can tip as little as 1 token. Comparing guides and viewer comments, these are the usual ranges.
| Use | Tokens | Roughly in US dollars |
|---|---|---|
| A hello or thank-you | 5 to 20 | About $0.40 to $2.20 |
| A request from the tip menu | The amount the model sets (tens to hundreds) | A few dollars to tens of dollars |
| Chipping in toward a goal | Any amount | Any amount |
The dollar figures assume about 8 to 11 US cents per token. See Stripchat tokens explained.
Reading a tip menu
A tip menu lists what a model will do for a set number of tokens. You will find it in the show window or on their profile. Sending the listed amount is a request anyone understands, even without a shared language.
Goals and interactive toys
- A goal is a target: when everyone's tips add up to a set number, the model does something. The screen shows how many tokens are left, and the last stretch is usually the liveliest part of a show.
- Some models use interactive toys (such as Lovense) that react to tips. The show window lists how long each tip amount makes it run.
How to tip wisely
- Ask in chat before tipping for something that is not on the tip menu.
- A short message with a small tip helps the model notice you.
- Decide how many tokens you will spend before you start watching.
- Want to tip without showing your name? That is an Ultimate perk; see is Ultimate worth it?.
How interactive toys work
Models with an interactive toy (such as Lovense) show a table of how many tokens give how long and how strong a reaction. Your tip triggers it straight away, following that table.
| Tip (example) | Reaction (example) |
|---|---|
| 1-9 tokens | Low, a few seconds |
| 10-49 tokens | Medium, about 10 seconds |
| 50 tokens or more | High, longer |
Every model sets her own table, so check it before you tip. Some also offer Full Control, which lets you set the intensity yourself for a set time.
If a request is declined, or you want to stay anonymous
- Ask in chat before tipping for anything that is not on the tip menu. Tips are not returned if she says no.
- Tips cannot be taken back, so check the number before you send.
- Anonymous tips are an Ultimate perk (about $19.99 a month); choose the anonymous option when you tip.
Tip amounts by occasion
| Occasion | Typical tokens | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Saying hello | 5-10 | $0.50-$1 |
| Thanks for a request | The tip menu price | Depends on the menu |
| Helping reach a goal | 10-50 | $1-$5 |
| A birthday or milestone | 100 or more | $10 or more |
Timing and a friendly message matter more than size. Even a small tip is often enough to get a thank-you by name.
What to write with a tip
- Hi! Happy to be here. Short and warm works in any room.
- You look lovely today. A compliment that stays polite.
- For the goal! Shows you are supporting what the room is working toward.
- Arigatou! For Japanese models, a word of Japanese stands out.
Things to watch out for
- Double-check the number before sending; an extra zero cannot be undone.
- Ask before tipping for anything not on the tip menu.
- Asking for personal contact details or inviting a model off the site breaks the rules.
- There is no need to compete with other tippers. Stay within your own budget.
Setting a monthly budget and buying only that many tokens keeps tipping fun. Budget examples are in Stripchat tokens explained.
