OnlyFans statistics 2026: revenue, creators and fans

OnlyFans' most recent published accounts cover the financial year ended 30 November 2025. Fans paid $7.8 billion on the platform, the company booked $1.55 billion in net revenue and $715 million in pre-tax profit, and it ended the year with 5.0 million creator accounts and 437 million fan accounts.

The numbers, year on year

These figures come from the annual accounts of Fenix International Limited, the UK company that operates OnlyFans, and from reporting on those filings. They are company accounts rather than marketing material, which is why they are worth more than almost any other number published on this topic. Figures are for the financial year ending 30 November.

The shape is steady growth at a slowing rate: money paid by fans rose roughly 8% in the year to November 2025, after 9% the year before. The number people most often misread is the staff count. OnlyFans ran all of that on 47 employees because it hosts and processes payments — it does not do the selling. That work sits entirely with creators and the people they hire.

What these statistics do not say

"Creator accounts" and "fan accounts" are registrations, not people. One person can open several fan accounts, and a large share of both totals are dormant. A 16% rise in fan accounts is not 16% more buyers, and any article that converts those totals into a headcount of humans is guessing. OnlyFans does not publish a unique-user figure.

Two other limits are worth stating plainly. The accounts are a single annual snapshot to 30 November, so they say nothing about seasonality or about the month you are actually trading in. And they report the platform in aggregate: there is no public breakdown by country, by niche, or by subscription price. If you see one, ask where it came from.

What an average creator earns, and why the average misleads

One figure can be derived honestly from the table above: $7.8 billion paid by fans divided by 5.0 million creator accounts is about $1,560 per creator account per year, roughly $130 a month, before the platform takes its cut. That is arithmetic on two sourced numbers, not a survey — and it is a mean across every registered account including the dormant ones, so it describes almost nobody.

The distribution is what actually matters, and there is one public marker for it: OnlyFans has said that 5,076 creators have earned more than $1 million on the platform to date, as reported by Variety. Set against 5.0 million creator accounts, that is a very long tail behind a very short head. Earnings on OnlyFans are concentrated, and the gap between the head and the tail is made in the DMs far more than in the feed.

The platform's 20% cut, checked against the filings

OnlyFans' published commission is 20% of what a fan pays, with 80% going to the creator. You do not have to take that on trust: $1.55 billion of net revenue against $7.8 billion paid by fans is 19.9% — the published split showing up in the accounts. It also tells you where every other cost has to live. Agency commission, chatters, marketing and tax all come out of the same 80%, which is why how an agency charges you matters as much as the headline rate it quotes.

What the statistics change about how you run a page

437 million fan accounts against 5.0 million creator accounts describes a market where attention is abundant and conversion is scarce. The subscription gets a fan through the door; the revenue is made in the conversation afterwards — reading buying signals, timing PPV, following up with spenders who went quiet. That is precisely the work that does not scale with one person and a phone, and it is why chatting capacity, not content, is the usual ceiling.

That gap is what Hornyt was built for: a multi-agent pipeline rather than a single prompt, writing like a human with typing delays, slang, calculated slips and the platform's own typing indicator, with compliance validation on every message and a handoff to a person for customs and edge cases. Personalities are tuned per niche, you keep control and can pause it from Discord, and billing is weekly with a fee only on PPV and chat tips. See the OnlyFans chatter page, or apply for access.

How many people use OnlyFans in 2026?

The last published figures are 437 million fan accounts and 5.0 million creator accounts as at 30 November 2025. Those are accounts, not individuals — OnlyFans does not publish a unique-user number, so anyone quoting one is estimating.

How much money does OnlyFans make?

$1.55 billion in net revenue and $715 million in pre-tax profit in the year to 30 November 2025, out of $7.8 billion paid by fans. The difference is the 80% passed through to creators.
