How much does OnlyFans take?

OnlyFans keeps 20% of everything — subscriptions, tips, and pay-per-view. The take-home figure this calculator shows is your 80% share.

Does the take-home number include taxes?

No. It's your share after the platform fee, before any taxes or expenses. Creator earnings are self-employment income, so set a slice aside — I'm not an accountant, ask one for the right percentage for you.

Are the numbers I type sent anywhere?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Subscriber counts, prices, and extras never leave your device.

Reality check

That number assumes you actually have those subscribers — which is the hard part. A calculator can't conjure traffic. Those subs and that PPV income only exist if you're driving people to your page: socials, Reddit, a site you own, a real funnel. Just having an OnlyFans earns roughly nothing — the platform doesn't hand you an audience. The 20% cut is the easy math; the other 80% of the actual work is everything that gets a stranger to the subscribe button. That's why being a creator is harder than it looks.

It's the whole reason I write about the funnel from views to paying fans and running my own site. The number this tool spits out is a ceiling you earn your way up to — not a floor the platform owes you.

Before taxes. You owe income and self-employment tax on what you keep here. Talk to an accountant — I'm not one.

When you get paid ≠ how much. OnlyFans holds new earnings about 7 days (longer for new accounts or some regions) before you can withdraw. That changes the timing, not the total.

It's an estimate. Real numbers move with churn, refunds, the occasional chargeback, and your own content mix.
