It's worth 0 points. It doesn't matter what letter you are using it as. Answer: If you mean a blank tile, it is worth zero (0) point. However, if you mean a blank square on the scrabble board, the points would depend on the assigned value of the letter tile laid on it.

J and X are worth 8 points each. F, H, V, W and Y are worth 4 points each and can give you 8 points if you put them on a double-letter score or have a double word score, OR use them to complete 2 words at once. D and G are worth 2 points each and can give you 8 points if you put them on a double-letter score and end have a double word score, or have 2 double word scores, or if you use them in 2 words at once and have either a double-letter score, or a double-word score for both words.
You count up your points. If you lay down a word and none of the letters in your word are on bonus squares, then you count up the points listed on each letter. If there is a bonus square under one of the tiles you placed, then you will do what it says... double the word score or the letter score, etc. You do count the points for previously laid tiles that make up part of any words that you have formed, but you do not reuse the bonuses underneath those tiles. See the link to the wikipedia article for more information about Scrabble. If you scroll down, there is a "scoring" section. Also, bonuses are restricted to a single play, not a single word. For example, If my opponent plays TUB directly under a double word score, and and I play SPUD with the S above the T, I get to double the scores for both SPUD and S(TUD), with the same double word square under the S.
