OnlyFans Statistics 2026: The Verified Numbers

"OnlyFans statistics" is the most typo-prone query in this cluster, because the internet is full of numbers whose period has fallen off: a 2021 revenue figure presented as current, a fan count from last year's filing quoted as today's, and an average presented as a typical income. This page does the boring version of the job. Every figure below was checked against a live source on 2026-10-27, carries its source and its period, and stays inside that period — Fenix International (OnlyFans's parent) files accounts for fiscal years that end November 30, so "fiscal 2024" means the year ended November 30, 2024, and "end of 2024" account counts are dated to that same November 30.

The headline verified numbers: $7.22 billion in gross fan payments in fiscal 2024, of which $5.80 billion went to creators; 4.634 million creator accounts and 377.5 million fan accounts at November 30, 2024; and by November 30, 2025, 5 million creator accounts (2.5 million active), 437 million fan accounts (132 million active), and more than $30 billion paid to creators over the platform's first ten years. The honest footnote those totals need: tracker estimates put an ordinary account at $150–180 per month, and only 5,076 creators have ever crossed $1 million.

How much revenue does OnlyFans actually make?

OnlyFans filed $7.22 billion in gross revenue for fiscal 2024 — the year ended November 30, 2024 — up 9%, with $1.41 billion in net revenue and $684 million in pre-tax profit.

Those figures come from the annual report of Fenix International, OnlyFans's London-based parent, as reported by Variety on August 22, 2025; the syndicated Business Insider stats list reports the same filing. The year before, the accounts filed September 5, 2024 put fiscal 2023 at $6,629,945,000 in gross site volume and $1,306,696,000 in net revenue (per Upmarket's write-up of the filing). Note what "revenue" means here: the $7.22 billion is fan payments — money that mostly belongs to creators — while OnlyFans's own income is the 20% cut, the $1.41 billion net line.

The one profit figure this table deliberately omits is fiscal 2023's: the FY2023 write-up prints it inconsistently (both $658 million and $485,476,000 appear), so this page cites only the verified fiscal 2024 pre-tax profit of $684 million and fiscal 2022's $525 million, each labeled. The fiscal 2025 accounts, reported in August 2026, add $6.3 billion paid to creators for the year ended November 30, 2025 — the other fiscal 2025 lines are handled below, where the one misprinted figure is flagged rather than guessed.

How many creators are on OnlyFans?

There were 4,634,000 creator accounts on November 30, 2024, up 13% in a year — and 5 million total by November 30, 2025, of which only 2.5 million were active.

The creator count is where period-mixing does the most damage. The fiscal 2023 filing said 4,118,000 creators; when Reuters profiled the company in December 2024, it still quoted "4.1 million" — correct at the time, because the fiscal 2024 count had not been filed yet. The fiscal 2025 accounts then split the number for the first time in the fetched sources: 5 million total creator accounts, 2.5 million active during the year. That active number is the honest denominator for anyone judging their odds. The filings also show 936,000 new creator accounts added during fiscal 2023, and the Social Rise statistics tracker logged roughly 197,504 creator applications in March 2024 alone with only about 32% approved — a funnel that filters before a single account earns, which is what verification and requirements govern, and what the age verification changes keep tightening.

One derived ratio worth knowing: fans per creator has climbed from a filed 74:1 at the end of fiscal 2023 to roughly 86:1 at the end of fiscal 2025 (derived by dividing the two filed counts) — the audience is growing faster than the creator base, which is the quiet bull case hiding inside these filings.

What does the average OnlyFans creator actually earn?

The filings show totals, not paychecks — and every verified distribution signal says the money is extremely top-heavy.

Start with the arithmetic trap. Divide fiscal 2024's $5.80 billion in payouts by 4.634 million creator accounts and you get about $1,250 per account for the year — a derived mean, not a typical income, inflated by the top of the distribution. The Social Rise tracker puts an ordinary creator at $150–180 per month with 21 subscribers, estimates the top 1% of creators take about 33% of all platform revenue, and estimates only about 1% of adult-content creators clear $100,000 in a year. The company-side ceiling, from the fiscal 2025 reporting: 5,076 creators have earned more than $1 million in the platform's entire ten-year history — roughly one in a thousand of the 5 million accounts ever created. The full earnings distributions live in how much OnlyFans models make and the top OnlyFans earners breakdown; this page carries the counts and leaves their lists to them.

Read the last two rows carefully: they are means across skewed distributions, which is exactly why the $2,520 figure must not be quoted as "the average creator earns $2,500." A mean and a typical income are different statistics, and only the tracker's range describes the typical account.

How many users does OnlyFans have?

377.5 million fan accounts at the end of fiscal 2024 — up 24% in a year — and 437 million by the end of fiscal 2025, of which 132 million were active during the year.

The 377.5 million figure comes from the Fenix filings for the year ended November 30, 2024, reported August 22, 2025; it is the same filing Business Insider's stats roundup cites. Treat "users" precisely: these are registered fan accounts, cumulative sign-ups rather than paying subscribers, and the filings have never published a paying-subscriber count — the 132 million active fans in fiscal 2025 is the closest filed proxy. Two traffic figures also circulate with different methodologies: Similarweb counted roughly 316 million monthly site visits in September 2024 (per the Upmarket write-up), while the Social Rise statistics page cites about 1 billion monthly visits in January 2024 from Statista — visits and registered accounts are different measures and are never interchangeable here.

• End of fiscal 2023 (Nov 30, 2023): 305.1 million fan accounts, filed.
• End of fiscal 2024 (Nov 30, 2024): 377.5 million fan accounts, +24%, filed.
• End of fiscal 2025 (Nov 30, 2025): 437 million total fan accounts, 132 million active during the year, filed.
• Audience shape (tracker estimates): about 71% of subscribers male, and over 60% aged 18–34 — undated on the fetched tracker page, so treat as directional.

How much has OnlyFans paid out to creators in total?

More than $30 billion cumulatively over the platform's first ten years, per the August 2026 reporting of the fiscal 2025 accounts — up from "over $20 billion" as recently as December 2024, per Reuters.

Both numbers are true; they are just 20 months apart. The yearly series from the filings: $3.86 billion paid in fiscal 2021, $4.46 billion in fiscal 2022, $5.32 billion in fiscal 2023, $5.80 billion in fiscal 2024, and $6.3 billion in fiscal 2025. What reaches a bank account is less than the headline, always: the platform's share, payout minimums, and timing all sit between the filed total and your statement — the mechanics are in payouts and fees, and if you need to prove the income to a landlord or lender, the OnlyFans pay stub guide covers what documentation actually works.

Taxes take the next bite: payout totals are gross, so plan around them with the OnlyFans taxes guide, the filing specifics in the 1099 forms guide, and the OnlyFans tax calculator for the arithmetic. And because fan payments can be reversed after the fact, chargebacks are the one line in this section a creator can actually influence.

How does the 80/20 split work in the real numbers?

The filings show creators actually received 80.29% of gross site volume in fiscal 2023 and 80.36% in fiscal 2022 — the nominal 80/20 split is not marketing, it is the accounting.

That precision matters because it is the one number in creator economics that is genuinely fixed. Every other variable — price, PPV, tips, bundles — is yours to set inside the filed product bounds: subscriptions run $4.99 to $49.99 per month and the minimum tip is $5, per Upmarket's FY2023 write-up of the platform's published ranges (Reuters's 2024 report quotes the same $4.99 floor). Planning a price inside that band is a strategy decision, not a statistics one — the subscription pricing guide and PPV pricing cover it — but every price should be sanity-checked against the 20% platform share before you commit.

How fast is OnlyFans growing?

Growth is slowing, not stopping: gross fan payments rose 118% in fiscal 2021, 16% in fiscal 2022, 19% in fiscal 2023, and 9% in fiscal 2024 — while fan accounts grew 24% in fiscal 2024, faster than the money.

That divergence is the most decision-relevant trend in the filings: the audience is expanding faster than spending, which means more potential fans per creator and more competition for each fan's wallet at the same time. The company behind the numbers stayed tiny — 46 employees in fiscal 2024 and 47 in fiscal 2025, plus contractors — and extremely profitable: owner Leonid Radvinsky received $472 million in dividends for fiscal 2023, $497 million for fiscal 2024, and $535 million for fiscal 2025, with a further $174 million through March 26, 2026, per the Variety reporting of the accounts. The same reporting records Radvinsky's death in March 2026 and a 16% stake sold to Architect Capital for $535 million in May 2026 at a $3.15 billion implied valuation — a different event from the $8 billion sale talks Bloomberg reported in May 2025, and the two valuations are kept separate here on purpose.

One structural note for readers who compare platforms: a growth slowdown in a maturing market pushes traffic comparisons toward feature differences, which is why the OnlyFans vs Fanvue, Fansly vs OnlyFans, and JustForFans vs OnlyFans comparisons keep mattering to the decision even though none of those rivals publishes filings this detailed. The wider OnlyFans alternatives landscape rounds that out.

How much chatting on OnlyFans is done by AI?

Reuters's July 2024 investigation documented AI chat software sold openly to management agencies and undisclosed to subscribers — including one vendor whose tool sends with no human in the loop.

The verified specifics: NEO Agency, a Kyiv management agency handling about 70 OnlyFans creators, told Reuters roughly half used its FlirtFlow chatbot, which its CEO said can "compose and send messages without human help or detection by OnlyFans"; creators at about 20 or so other agencies used it too. Botly, an Australian tool that launched in 2023 at $15 per month and only drafts messages a human still sends, claimed its software ran in more than 100,000 chats per month. Reuters also quoted the platform's own terms as stating "You cannot use an AI chatbot to write chats or direct messages," and reported that OnlyFans declined to answer questions about AI use. What this means for a statistics page: chat-volume figures anywhere in this ecosystem can contain undisclosed automation, and the OnlyFans bots guide separates the three things "bots" can mean on the platform.

“The software is openly advertised to management agencies but not disclosed to OnlyFans subscribers, who are left to assume they're chatting in real time with porn stars.”

What do these statistics mean if you're starting in 2026?

The numbers describe a mature, top-heavy market with a still-growing audience — which argues for entering with a plan, not a prayer.

The verified picture: 2.5 million active creators shared $6.3 billion in fiscal 2025 (about $2,520 per active account as a derived mean), a typical account earns an estimated $150–180 a month, and the distribution is steep enough that one in a thousand accounts has ever touched $1 million. That is not an argument against starting — it is an argument for starting the way the numbers reward: a defined niche from the most profitable niches research, the mechanics from how to start an OnlyFans and the beginners guide, and if you are beginning from zero audience, the starting with no followers playbook. Run the decision honestly through whether OnlyFans is worth it and the full pros and cons before spending a dollar, then scale demand with how to grow on OnlyFans in 2026.

• Anchor on the 80/20 split. It is the only fixed number in your P&L: price everything on your 80%, not the gross.
• Use the active counts, not the totals. 2.5 million active creators and 132 million active fans (fiscal 2025) are the real market; the 5 million and 437 million totals include dormant accounts.
• Ignore the $1,250-style means. They are arithmetic on filings, not forecasts; the tracker's $150–180 typical month is the honest baseline to beat.
• Beware number-shaped scams. Fake screenshots and "guaranteed earnings" pitches recycle these same statistics — the scams guide catalogs the patterns.
• Know the lifecycle costs. The platform has no app storefront presence (whether OnlyFans has an app explains why), running two accounts doubles the compliance surface, and deleting an OnlyFans account correctly protects both payouts and privacy.

Which OnlyFans "statistics" are actually myths?

Most viral OnlyFans numbers fail on period, denominator, or both — here is what the verified data says against the most repeated claims.

The pattern behind every row: a real filed number, stripped of its period or its denominator, repeated until it becomes a different claim. If a statistic you encounter cannot name its fiscal year and its source, treat it as a myth until it can.

If reading these numbers as a creator pointed you toward help executing against them, the scope, pricing, and reporting standards are on our OnlyFans management service page, and you can apply for a fit call with your account, capacity, and boundaries. If the numbers pointed you toward the supply side instead — 74:1 fan-to-creator ratios need operators — how to start an OnlyFans agency is the honest version of that path.
