OnlyFans Earnings
How much do OnlyFans creators make?
On average, not much. OnlyFans is run by a UK company, so its totals are on the public record at Companies House. This page uses those totals and nothing else. Where the accounts are silent, on medians or UK creators or beginners, we say so.
How much do OnlyFans creators make?
OnlyFans' owner paid creators $6.2bn in the year to 30 November 2025, spread over 5.06 million creator accounts. That is about $1,200 per account for the year before tax, by our arithmetic, and most accounts receive less. Climaxx Media matches creators with collab partners and takes no share of what they earn.

What the average account gets
$6.2bn divided by 5.06 million accounts is about $1,200 per account for the year, roughly $100 a month, before tax and before anything spent on making content. The year before works out at almost the same figure. Payouts grew, the number of accounts grew just as fast, and the average stood still.
Two cautions. The account total counts every creator account that has not been deleted or deactivated, so it includes pages that stopped posting. Creators who are still active will average more than about $1,200, and the accounts do not say how much more. Second, this is a mean. A page paid $120,000 in the year uses up the average of a hundred accounts, so the typical page sits below the mean. OnlyFans does not publish a median.
How much does OnlyFans pay, and when?
OnlyFans pays 80% of each fan payment to the creator and keeps 20%. The split is the same for a subscription, a paid message or a tip. Money goes to the payout method you registered when you set up the creator account, so fans never see your bank details. Our guide to starting an OnlyFans in the UK covers the set-up.
How much does OnlyFans cost?
People asking this are usually one of two groups. If you are a creator, the cost is the 20% above. If you are a fan, there is no single price: each creator sets a monthly subscription for their own page, or makes it free to follow and charges for individual messages. The accounts put average spending at about $18 per fan account in the year, by our arithmetic, which suggests a great many fan accounts spend little or nothing.
What a UK creator keeps after tax
Payouts are self-employed income. HMRC's trading allowance means the first £1,000 of gross trading income in a tax year usually does not need declaring. Go over it and you must register for Self Assessment by 5 October after the tax year ends, then pay tax on your profit. The rule is set out on gov.uk under tax-free allowances on property and trading income.
Why some pages earn far more than the average
The accounts give totals, not reasons. What we can say from running a casting marketplace is narrower. A page earns from the audience its owner brings to it, and the dependable ways to reach a new audience are your own social accounts and other creators' pages. The second is a collab: two creators film together, both post, and each is seen by the other's paying subscribers.
If that is your next step, OnlyFans collabs in the UK explains how partners find each other on Climaxx Media, where every creator is ID-checked before they can message and nobody else sees the documents. We charge a flat membership and take nothing from a collab. Agree the money first with our guide to splitting collab revenue, and put it in a collab contract.

OnlyFans earnings: common questions
How much does OnlyFans pay creators?
80% of what fans pay. The OnlyFans accounts describe it as $4 to the creator for every $1 the company keeps. In the year to 30 November 2025 that came to $6.2bn paid out, from $7.8bn paid in by fans.
How much do beginner OnlyFans creators make?
OnlyFans publishes no figure for beginners. The average across every creator account is about $1,200 a year, and a new page with no audience should expect to start below that. Income follows subscribers, and a new page has none until you bring them.
How much does OnlyFans cost?
For a creator, the cost is the 20% OnlyFans keeps from each fan payment. For a fan, each page has its own price: the creator sets a monthly subscription or makes the page free to follow, and paid messages and tips are extra. We hold no data on typical subscription prices, so we have not quoted one.
How much do OnlyFans models make in the UK?
The figures on this page are worldwide totals from the company accounts. We have no UK-only earnings figure and have not guessed one. UK creators are paid on the same 80% basis and declare the income to HMRC as self-employed.
Can you make $1,000 a month on OnlyFans?
Some creators do, but it is far above the norm. $1,000 a month is $12,000 a year, about ten times the average paid out per creator account (about $1,200). Treat any course or agency that promises it with suspicion.
Do men earn less than women on OnlyFans?
OnlyFans does not split its payouts by gender, so nobody outside the company can give a number. Our guide on whether men can make money on OnlyFans explains what is different about the market for male creators.
How is collab income shared?
However the two creators agree. Common arrangements are a content share where each posts to their own page and keeps their own takings, or a flat fee paid by one to the other. Climaxx Media takes no cut either way. Put the split in writing before you film.
