How the calculator works

OnlyFans keeps 20% of every payment fans make, whether it's a subscription, a tip, or a pay-per-view message, and pays creators the other 80%. The calculator multiplies your paying subscribers by what each one spends a month, takes off OnlyFans' share and any agency commission, and shows what's left.

  • Fans spend = paying subscribers × (subscription price + tips and pay-per-view per subscriber).
  • You take home = fans spend × 80% × (1 − agency commission).
  • Subscribers needed = income goal ÷ what you keep per subscriber.

Two numbers move your income more than anything else: how much each subscriber spends beyond the subscription, and how many subscribers stay each month. Our guides to pricing subscription tiers and average churn rates cover both, and how much OnlyFans takes vs other platforms compares the fees. On your own site there's no 20% platform cut: the creator platform calculator shows what you'd keep, and Highlife can run the site for you.
