Passes Earnings Calculator
Estimate what you keep on Passes each month and year after its 20% fee on card sales, from your own subscribers, prices, paid content and tips, and see how many subscribers it takes to reach an income goal.
Your numbers
Illustrative only: monthly figures before taxes, refunds and chargebacks, assuming every subscriber renews for the month. Defaults are example inputs, not typical earnings. Results are estimates, not financial advice: see our terms of use.
How the calculator works
Passes' creator terms state: "We take a 20% fee of all credit/debit Sales" (Passes Creator Terms, Payments to Sellers). The calculator applies that fee to what your paying subscribers spend, subtracts any agency commission, and shows what's left.
- Fans spend = paying subscribers × (membership price + paid content per subscriber + tips per subscriber).
- Passes fee = fans spend × 20%.
- You take home = fans spend − Passes fee − agency commission.
One caveat from the same terms: Passes pays your percentage of its net consideration, defined as what it actually receives on a sale less fees, taxes and third-party expenses such as payment processing. If your statements show processing costs taken before the split, raise the fee field to match what you actually see.
Worked examples
Three sets of inputs run through the same formula as the calculator. They show how the math works; they are not typical or expected Passes earnings, which depend entirely on your own audience and prices.
| Example | Paying subscribers | Price / month | PPV + tips per subscriber | Agency | Fans spend | Passes fee | You keep / month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A: subscriptions only | 100 | $9.99 | $0.00 | None | $999 | $200 | $799 |
| B: subscriptions plus PPV and tips | 250 | $9.99 | $5.00 | None | $3,748 | $750 | $2,998 |
| C: with a 30% agency | 1,000 | $14.99 | $10.00 | 30% of gross | $24,990 | $4,998 | $12,495 |

Frequently asked questions
How much does Passes take from creators?
Passes' creator terms say it takes a 20% fee on all credit and debit card sales, so the standard creator share is 80%. The terms also define your share as a percentage of Passes' net consideration on each sale, meaning what Passes actually receives after fees, taxes and third-party processing costs.
When does Passes pay creators?
By default Passes pays sale proceeds every two weeks, within 30 days of the end of each two-week period, by bank transfer to the account in your creator profile.
What is the minimum price on Passes?
Passes' terms say all payments must be at least $3, with no maximum, and payments are accepted in US dollars. Passes can also withhold unpaid proceeds if it believes you've breached its terms.
Is Passes cheaper than OnlyFans?
On the published fee, no: both keep 20% of card sales. Because Passes calculates your share on net consideration, check your own payout statements to see whether processing costs come out before the split. Our Passes vs OnlyFans fees guide walks through it.
