OnlyFans statistics 2026: the numbers straight from the filings

Updated 2026-07-17

OnlyFans processed $7.22 billion in fan payments in its 2024 financial year, paid $5.80 billion of it out to creators, and cleared $684 million in pre-tax profit — figures that come not from an estimate but from audited accounts its parent company, Fenix International, files publicly with the UK’s Companies House every year (reported by Variety, 2025).

That is what makes OnlyFans unusual in the adult economy: while cam-industry numbers are mostly guesswork, OnlyFans publishes real, audited, year-on-year data. This page pulls the figures that matter straight from those filings and the outlets that report on them. Where a number is a company disclosure it says so; every figure carries its year. And as always, we left out the invented "average creator earns $X" claims that fill most OnlyFans "statistics" pages — none of them come from the filings.

Key takeaways

• OnlyFans took $7.22 billion in gross fan payments in FY2024, up 9% from $6.63 billion the year before (Fenix International filing, via Variety, 2025).
• Creators were paid $5.80 billion in FY2024 — OnlyFans keeps a flat 20% commission and passes 80% to creators (Variety, 2025).
• The platform reached 4.63 million creator accounts and 377.5 million registered fans by November 2024 (Fenix International filing, 2025).
• Growth has cooled sharply: gross revenue rose 118% in 2021 during the pandemic, then 16%, 19% and just 9% in the three years since (Variety; Fortune, 2024–2025).
• Owner Leonid Radvinsky drew $497 million in dividends for FY2024, part of roughly $1.8 billion since 2021 (Variety, 2025; Yahoo Finance/PA Media, 2025).
• Spread across all 4.63 million creator accounts, the mean payout works out to about $1,250 a year — a figure heavily skewed by inactive and tiny accounts (calculated from filing figures).

1. Revenue: $7.2 billion, but the boom has cooled

OnlyFans reports "gross revenue" as the total fans pay creators on the platform; the company’s own cut is the smaller "net revenue" line. Both are in the filings, and the five-year arc tells a clear story — explosive pandemic growth giving way to a maturing, still highly profitable business.

Gross payments grew 118% in 2021, then 16%, 19% and 9% in the years to 2024. That deceleration is the real headline: OnlyFans is no longer the runaway pandemic story, but a mature platform throwing off two-thirds of a billion dollars in annual profit with, per its filings, no debt and no outside investors.

2. Creators and the 80/20 split

OnlyFans runs one of the most creator-favourable splits in the adult economy: it takes a flat 20% and passes 80% straight through. On $7.22 billion of payments, that meant a record payout in FY2024.

The creator base has grown every year, but the pace is slowing — from a 365% jump in 2020 and 29% in 2023 to 13% in 2024. More creators competing for a pot growing at 9% is the mathematical root of the income gap in section 4.

3. The audience: 377 million registered fans

User growth is the one line still expanding fast. OnlyFans counts total registered fan accounts rather than active monthly users, so treat these as a cumulative reach figure — but the trajectory is unambiguous.

The fan base has more than quadrupled since 2020, adding over 70 million accounts in FY2024 alone. That fans are still joining faster than revenue is growing points to the same squeeze creators feel: a bigger, but on average lower-spending, audience.

4. The creator income gap

This is the statistic that gets misreported most often, in both directions. Divide total payouts by total creators and the mean looks modest; but the mean is meaningless here, because earnings on OnlyFans follow an extreme power law — a small top tier captures most of the money.

A mean of roughly $1,250 per account per year is not what a working creator earns — it is the average dragged down by millions of dormant and hobby accounts. The reliable, filing-based conclusion is structural: because payouts are spread across an ever-growing creator base while the top accounts absorb the bulk of fan spending, the median creator earns a small fraction of the mean. Any specific "median OnlyFans creator earns $X" figure you see quoted does not come from the filings — the company does not publish a median — so we do not either.

5. OnlyFans vs live camming: two adult creator models

OnlyFans and live cam sites like LiveJasmin or Stripchat are often lumped together, but they monetise in opposite ways, and the contrast explains why both thrive.

The through-line across both is the same shift OnlyFans’ filings quantify: audiences increasingly pay creators directly for access and interaction rather than consuming free, pre-recorded content. Live camming simply sells the most immediate version of that — a real-time, two-way show.

OnlyFans statistics 2026, by the numbers

Methodology and sources

Every figure on this page traces to Fenix International Ltd’s audited financial statements, filed publicly with the UK’s Companies House, or to the outlets that report on those filings each year. Fenix International is the parent company of OnlyFans; its fiscal year ends 30 November, so "FY2024" covers the year to 30 November 2024, with accounts published in 2025.

The only derived figure is the mean payout per creator, which we calculate transparently as total creator payouts divided by total creator accounts, and explicitly flag as a mean skewed by inactive accounts — not a typical creator’s income. We do not publish a "median creator earnings" number because the filings do not contain one; figures you see quoted elsewhere are estimates, not company data.
