How Much to Charge on OnlyFans: Subscription Price and Calculator

The price of your subscription is the first number a fan sees, and one of the few you decide on your own. If it is too high, many will not join. If it is too low, you give your work away. In this guide we explain how pricing works on OnlyFans, when a free profile makes sense, what happens with extras and, using public figures, what people really earn.

How the subscription price works

On OnlyFans every creator sets the price of her monthly subscription, or decides to charge nothing. The platform's terms put it this way: you set the price, if there is one. Of every payment, OnlyFans keeps 20% and you receive 80%. That 20% is the same for subscriptions, tips and paid messages.

• Prices are in dollars. OnlyFans works in US dollars, also if you live in Spain.
• There is a minimum and a maximum. When we wrote this guide, the dashboard usually let you choose between about $4.99 and $49.99 a month. It can change, so check your own dashboard.
• You can make bundles. 3, 6 or 12 months at a discount, so the fan stays longer.
• You can run promotions. A lower price or a free trial for a few days, for new fans or for those who left.

The price is not just money. It also tells the fan what to expect. A very low price with a full wall looks like a deal. A high price with four photos looks like a trick, and those fans do not renew.

Free or paid profile?

Both options work, but they earn money in different ways. With a free profile many more people join, and what you earn comes almost entirely from paid messages and tips. With a paid profile fewer people join, but every fan already pays a fixed amount each month.

Many creators have both: a free profile to attract fans and a paid one for those who want more. If you can only run one well, choose based on what you are best at: the chat or the wall.

What you charge for besides the subscription

The subscription is only one part. On many accounts, what weighs most at the end of the month is everything charged on top of it:

• Paid messages. Photos or videos the fan unlocks in the chat. In the industry this is called PPV.
• Tips. The fan pays what they want, for a post, in a message or in a live stream.
• Packs. Several photos or videos together at a fixed price.
• Custom orders. Content made for one specific fan, at a price you agree beforehand.
• Live streams. With tips during the stream or with a paid ticket.

Each one has a minimum set by the platform, and the maximum depends on what the fan is willing to pay. If you want the terms explained one by one, you will find them in our OnlyFans glossary.

Calculator: what reaches you each month

Enter your price, how many fans pay each month and what each fan spends on average on extras. The calculator shows what reaches you, already without OnlyFans' 20%. If your profile is free, enter 0 as the price and only the extras count.

What people earn on OnlyFans

Nobody can tell you what you will earn, but there are public figures on what is earned overall. Fenix International, the company behind OnlyFans, files its accounts with the UK company register. According to those accounts, reported by the press in August 2025, in its fiscal year to November 2024:

• Fans spent about $7,200 million on the platform.
• Creators received about $5,800 million.
• There were more than 4 million creator accounts.

If you split the money across all accounts, the average is less than $1,500 a year per account. But that average is misleading, for two reasons. First, many of those accounts are not active or hardly post, and the company does not count each person only once. Second, a few very large accounts earn a huge share of the total and pull the average up. Most accounts earn quite a bit less than that figure, and a few earn far more.

What really sets accounts apart is not the price. It is how many new fans arrive each day, how many stay and how much is sold in the chat. We talk about that in how to earn more on OnlyFans.

Getting paid from Spain

• In dollars, not euros. OnlyFans pays you in dollars and your bank converts it to euros. The exchange rate and the fees of the bank or payout method take a share, so compare before you choose.
• There is a minimum to withdraw. You cannot take out any amount: the platform sets a minimum payout.
• What reaches you is not all yours. In Spain you have to declare what you earn. Which taxes you pay and how is explained in OnlyFans taxes in Spain.

How to set your price step by step

This is our practical rule. It is not an exact formula, it is the order we follow with every account:

1. Decide free or paid. Depending on whether you are stronger in the chat or on the wall, as in the table above.
2. Look at accounts similar to yours. Same style, same language, same size. That shows you which price range your audience moves in.
3. Start in the middle or low range. Especially if your wall still has little content. Raising the price later is easier than winning back fans who left.
4. Use promotions with an end date. A discount for new fans works better if it ends in a few days.
5. Look after those who already pay. Do not lower the price only for new fans without thinking about the ones already there. For them, multi-month bundles or renewal discounts are better.
6. Review every month. Check how many new fans join, how many renew and how much they spend on extras. If you change the price, change one thing at a time to see what works.

If you worry about your fans renewing, there is more in auto-renew on OnlyFans.

How we handle it

With us, the price, promotions and paid messages are decided together with you, with your stats in front of us. Our commission is 30% or 50%, depending on the plan, and it is calculated only on what reaches you after OnlyFans' 20%. You get paid first, the first month is commission free if we do not reach the goal, there is no lock in and you can leave with 3 days notice. Nothing is published without your approval and the contract is in Spanish.

If you want to see the plans in detail, you will find them in OnlyFans agency commissions.
