Cam Site Payout Rates for Studios (2026): Token Values, Minimums & Pay Cycles

A payout rate is one half of a two-sided number. A viewer buys tokens at one price, and the platform converts them back to cash for the broadcaster at a lower one. On Chaturbate a model earns $0.05 per token while viewers pay roughly $0.08 to $0.11 to buy each token, so the platform keeps close to half. Every major token site works the same way; only the exact numbers move.

That is why a headline token value on its own means little. What matters is the token value, the payout minimum, the pay cycle and the withdrawal method together, because those four decide how much reaches your studio and how fast.

The table below is the model-side terms as of 2026: what the broadcaster earns per token, the smallest balance you can withdraw, and how often the site pays. Figures marked reported come from community sources rather than an official page, so confirm them against each site's own payout terms before you build them into a forecast.

A higher token value is not automatically better. BongaCams pays $0.025 a token against Chaturbate's $0.05, but traffic, audience spending and promotion differ enough that the token rate alone won't tell you which site earns a given model more per hour.

LiveJasmin does not use a flat token value the way the sites above do. It is a premium, revenue-share platform where a model's percentage sits inside a tiered system tied to performance and status, and the exact figures are not published as a simple public rate. Older guides that quote a firm 20 to 50 percent are stating something the platform does not publish as fixed policy. If LiveJasmin is on your list, treat its share as tier-dependent and confirm the current terms directly rather than trusting a number from a third-party blog.

Add up a model's dollars from three sites and you get a number that looks precise and is quietly wrong. Each platform uses a different token value, a different pay cycle, and a different currency and fee structure, so a raw sum mixes units. Worse, if the model streams to several sites at once, the hours don't add up either: an hour live on three sites is one hour of her time, not three.

To rank models or platforms fairly you have to normalise first. Convert every site's tokens to one currency, and divide earnings by actual time on cam, not by the sum of per-site hours. That single correction is where most spreadsheet-run studios go wrong.

None of these rates is your studio's cut. The platform pays the model's token earnings to the model's balance, or, on the sites with a real studio account, routes them to the studio to distribute. What the studio then keeps from each model is a private agreement between the two of you. No cam site sets or publishes a studio-to-model split, so any 30/70 or 50/50 figure you read presented as an industry standard is a guess, not policy. The studio-accounts guide covers how each site handles that routing.

Once you run more than a couple of models across a couple of sites, keeping this straight by hand stops working. Different token values, different pay days, overlapping stream hours and a separate split per model add up to hours of monthly reconciliation and a figure you are never quite sure of.

CamPanther does that normalisation for you: it pulls each model's earnings across sites into one currency, tracks stream time as unique deduplicated online time so hourly figures stay honest, and applies each model's split automatically. See how it works for studios, or start a 7-day trial.

What is the token value on each cam site? As of 2026, Chaturbate, Stripchat, CamSoda and MyFreeCams pay the model $0.05 per token, Cam4 pays $0.10, and BongaCams pays $0.025. Viewers pay more than that to buy tokens; the difference is the platform's cut, usually around half.

Which cam site has the lowest payout minimum? MyFreeCams is among the lowest, starting around $10 for standard methods and rising to $500 for international wire. Chaturbate and Stripchat both start at a $50 minimum for common methods, with Stripchat's rising to $100 or $500 for ACH and international wire. Always check the minimum for the specific withdrawal method you use.

How often do cam sites pay? It varies. Chaturbate and MyFreeCams pay twice a month; Stripchat and BongaCams pay weekly. Each site sets its own cycle and cut-off, so a studio running several sites is juggling several pay calendars at once.

Does a higher token value mean a model earns more? Not on its own. Traffic, audience spending, promotion and the model's schedule affect hourly earnings far more than the token value. Compare earnings per actual hour on cam, not the token rate.

What cut does the cam site take from a studio? The platform takes its share through the token rate, roughly half. It does not set a separate studio cut. What your studio keeps from each model is a private arrangement you set yourselves.
