Astonishing reality of how much OnlyFans creators really make on average

The figure that OnlyFans creators earn on average might shock you

The real amount made by the average OnlyFans creator has been revealed, and it's surprising.

We've seen the subscription-based platform rise to prominence over the past few years, to the point where content creators have made a name for themselves on OnlyFans alone, rather than taking their fans with them to the 18+ site.

Sophie Rain was an unknown a couple of years ago, and now she claims to make over $40m a year through her adult content.

But while some of the platform's celebs boast earnings of genuinely unbelievable numbers, what about the average creator?

The porn-friendly platform is actually under a UK company called Fenix International, so it's legally required for them to publicly share information about its business and earnings.

In its figures to do with the financial year ending 30 November 2023, their revenues, profits, scale, and other factors were shared, showing an increase in all categories.

It's become an ultra-successful, profitable company, with its revenue increasing by 19 percent from $5.5 billion (£4.19 billion) in 2022 to $6.6 billion (£5 billion) in 2023, according to Variety.

The number of users saw an increase of 28 percent over the year to 305 million users, while the number of creators hit 4.1 million, a 29 percent increase.

People can genuinely make millions from content, but the story's different for your average creator.

OnlyFans takes a 20 percent cut of profits, meaning that there would be $5.32 billion (£4.2 billion) to share among creators.

Some quick maths reveals that the average creator will earn $1,300 (£1,030) per year, just $108 (£85.70) per month.

If you were thinking of quitting your day job to pursue this then, you might want to think twice.

On the bright side though, the figure represents an increase of 19 percent.

But the figure itself is a far cry from the millions that we see the big names rake in month upon month.

In fact, Range Media reports that one creator that ranked in the top 71st percentile of creators had just two active subscribers.

The majority of the site's earnings go to the top one percent of creators, who are believed to earn nearer to $49,000 (£38,900) per year, which is more like a salary.

Obviously, when we move up to the top 0.1 percent, they earn 15 times more this on average, according to Matthew Ball.

It's no surprise that the biggest earners are those who bring over a following from mainstream media or social media, as it's a surefire way to make profit.
