OnlyFans Stats 2026: Revenue, Creators & Payouts

Most OnlyFans statistics floating around the web are blog posts quoting other blog posts. This page does it differently: every hard number below comes from the company's own audited accounts — Fenix International Limited, the UK company behind OnlyFans, files them publicly at Companies House — or from widely reported company announcements. Where a figure is an estimate, we say so. That's the same rule we apply to every profile in our OnlyFans finder: verified or labeled, nothing invented.

The headline numbers

From the most recent published accounts, covering the financial year ended November 30, 2024:

• $7.22 billion in gross fan payments — everything fans spent on subscriptions, pay-per-view and tips — up 9% year on year.
• Around $5.8 billion of that went to creators under the platform's 80/20 split.
• $1.41 billion in net revenue for the platform itself, up 8%.
• $684 million in pre-tax profit, up 4%.

For context on where fan money goes at the individual level, see our breakdown of what OnlyFans actually costs subscribers.

Creators and fan accounts

The same filing reports 377.5 million registered fan accounts and 4.63 million creator accounts. One honest caveat most stats pages skip: these are cumulative registrations since launch, not active users. OnlyFans does not publish monthly active numbers, so any site claiming to know how many fans are active right now is guessing. Since launching in 2016, the platform says it has paid creators more than $25 billion in total.

What creators actually earn

This is where most stats pages fall apart. OnlyFans publishes no per-creator income data. Dividing creator payouts by creator accounts (~$5.8B across 4.63M accounts works out near $1,250 a year) is misleading in both directions: millions of registered accounts are inactive or abandoned, and earnings skew heavily toward the top of the platform. The "average creator earns about $150 a month" figures you'll see elsewhere are estimates built on exactly that division — treat them as rough directional guesses, not measured data.

What the filings do support: total creator earnings keep growing, the split is a flat 80/20, and there is no pay-to-rank system — which is why discovery tools matter so much for smaller creators, and why fans end up using an OnlyFans near me search or a curated best OnlyFans list instead of the platform's own non-existent search.

Ownership and valuation

OnlyFans is owned by Fenix International Limited, a private UK company. In August 2025, a reported sale of a 16% stake to an investment firm valued the company at roughly $3.15 billion. Worth noticing: that's only about 2.2x net revenue — a modest multiple for a platform this profitable, generally read as reflecting payment-processing and regulatory risk rather than doubts about demand.

How the money is made

Fan spending flows through three lanes: subscriptions (priced by each creator, up to the platform cap), pay-per-view unlocks, and tips. A large share of accounts now run free-to-follow and monetize entirely through PPV and tips — our guide to free trials and the free OnlyFans directory cover how that model works from the fan side.

Why we publish this

OnlyFans has no public search, no location data and no earnings transparency — a gap that gets filled with invented numbers and fake local lists. This registry exists to do the opposite: an honest index of OnlyFans creators with live, synced accounts, from the USA to the UK and Canada. When the next set of accounts is filed, this page gets updated — not before.
