50 coins × ¥2.13 = ¥106.5, minus the 30% fee, then 50% of that: about ¥37.3 per set.

At this pace you pass the ¥1,000 payout minimum in one month.

Each payout to a bank in Japan costs a ¥495 transfer fee (not included above).

To take home ¥10,000 a month under these settings, you need to sell 299 sets a month.

An estimate from the formula and rates in the LINE Creators Market help center (checked October 26, 2026). Rounding, consumption tax and purchases made in yen on LINE STORE can make the real amount slightly different. LINE Stickers Premium distributions are not included.

How the LINE sticker distribution is set

For stickers submitted for review on or after February 1, 2015, the LINE Creators Market help center sets the distribution at (gross sales − platform fee) × 50%. The fee is 26% for Apple App Store purchases made in Japan from January 1, 2026, and 30% for Google Play, LINE STORE and App Store purchases elsewhere.

Purchases made with LINE coins are converted at LINE's rate: 1 coin = ¥2.13 for purchases in Japan from December 1, 2024, and 1 coin = ¥1.76 outside Japan. This tool turns each price into coins (a ¥120 sticker set is 50 coins).

Japanese withholding tax comes off the distribution: 10.21% for individuals living in Japan (payments up to ¥1 million), 20.42% for individuals and companies outside Japan (a tax treaty filing can lower it), and none for Japanese companies. You can request a payout once your distribution passes ¥1,000.

The figures on this page were checked in the LINE Creators Market help center on October 26, 2026. Check the official site for the current terms. LINE does not promise any level of sales.

Common mistakes when estimating revenue

  1. 01Expecting the full priceYou get 50% of gross sales after the platform fee. A ¥120 sticker set sold in Japan earns a distribution of about ¥37.
  2. 02Forgetting tax and payout feesWithholding tax comes off the distribution, and every payout has a fee, so you take home less.
  3. 03Paying out just over ¥1,000Your distribution keeps adding up until you request it. A small payout loses a bigger share to the ¥495 transfer fee.
  4. 04Missing the LINE Sticker Maker settingSets submitted from LINE Sticker Maker on or after June 26, 2019 earn a distribution only when "Paid download / with sales distribution" was chosen.

FAQ

Common questions about LINE sticker revenue and distributions.

  1. How much do I get when a LINE sticker set sells?

    For a ¥120 (50-coin) set bought in Japan, gross sales are 50 coins × ¥2.13 = ¥106.5. Taking off the 30% fee and halving it leaves a distribution of about ¥37, or about ¥39 when bought on the App Store in Japan (26% fee). Withholding tax (10.21% for individuals in Japan) comes off that.

  2. What prices can I set for LINE stickers?

    According to the LINE Creators Market help center, stickers can be ¥120, ¥250, ¥370, ¥490 or ¥610 (50 to 250 coins). Emoji start at ¥170, and animated stickers and animated emoji at ¥250. Prices can change with consumption tax revisions.

  3. What if my set sells outside Japan, for example in Taiwan?

    Purchases outside Japan are converted at 1 coin = ¥1.76 and every store takes 30%, so a 50-coin set earns about ¥31. Creators living outside Japan pay 20.42% withholding tax, which a tax treaty filing can lower or remove.

  4. When can I receive my revenue?

    Sales are totaled at the end of each month and the distribution is fixed around the middle of the next month. Once your distribution passes ¥1,000 you can request a payout. Fees: ¥495 for a bank in Japan, or 2.0% (up to ¥5,000) for PayPal.

  5. Does it include LINE Stickers Premium?

    No. From July 1, 2026 the Premium distribution is subscribers × ¥12 (excluding tax) × your share of sends, and the subscriber count and send share are not known in advance.
