# OnlyFans earnings calculator: what you actually take home

> This calculator adds up what your fans pay in subscriptions, paid messages (PPV) and tips, subtracts the 20% fee OnlyFans keeps and shows what you receive per month and per year, your average earnings per subscriber and how much of your income comes from extras. It only uses your numbers: it adds no growth assumptions.

## How it is calculated

The calculator does three additions and one subtraction, with no tricks:

1. **Subscriptions:** paying subscribers times your monthly subscription price.
2. **Paid messages:** PPV messages sold per month times their average price.
3. **Tips:** what your fans tip you per month.
4. **OnlyFans fee:** it takes 20% off the total your fans pay (gross). What is left is what you receive (net).

From there it also works out yearly net income, average earnings per subscriber and the share of your revenue that comes from extras (PPV and tips).

## An example

An account with 250 subscribers at $9.99, 120 paid messages a month at an average of $12 and $400 in tips brings in about $4,338 a month gross. OnlyFans keeps about $868 and the creator receives about $3,470 a month, just under $14 per subscriber. More than 40% of the income comes from messages and tips, not the subscription.

## How to read the result

- **If net earnings per subscriber are low,** the margin is usually in the chat: well-timed paid messages, follow-ups on unopened ones and attention to the biggest spenders.
- **If extras weigh very little,** fans may not be getting offers, or they keep getting the same one.
- **If you depend on a few fans,** take special care of their experience: losing one shows.

## What the calculator does not include

It does not subtract taxes, refunds or chargebacks, or an agency's commission. To see what you would keep working with one, use the [agency commission calculator](/en/tools/onlyfans-agency-commission-calculator/), and if you are thinking about changing your subscription price, the [price calculator](/en/tools/onlyfans-subscription-price-calculator/).

## Frequently asked questions

### What percentage does OnlyFans keep?

OnlyFans keeps 20% of what fans pay, across subscriptions, paid messages and tips. The creator receives the remaining 80%, before taxes and before any agency commission if they work with one.

### Does the calculator include taxes?

No. It shows what OnlyFans pays you, which is the base your taxes are then calculated on depending on your country and situation. For that, talk to an accountant or tax adviser.

### Why does earnings per subscriber matter?

Because it tells you what each fan is worth per month on average. If it rises, you are selling better through messages or keeping your top spenders; if it falls, you may be attracting fans who buy nothing beyond the subscription.

### How much income usually comes from messages and tips?

It varies a lot between accounts. On free subscription accounts almost everything comes from paid messages and tips; on paid accounts the subscription weighs more. Enter your own numbers and check the percentage the calculator gives you.
