How Much Do Trans OnlyFans Creators Make?
By the Bunny Agency trans creator team · Updated · 16 min read
Quick answer
No one publishes OnlyFans earnings broken down by gender identity, so any average trans creator income figure you see is invented. What is documented: OnlyFans reported $6.3 billion paid to creators across about 5 million creator accounts for the year to 30 November 2025, of which only 2.5 million were active. That is roughly $1,260 per registered account, or $2,520 per active one: arithmetic on a very skewed distribution, not a salary.
Key takeaways
- There is no reliable public dataset of OnlyFans earnings broken down by gender identity, and no platform, regulator or peer-reviewed study has published one.
- For the financial year ended 30 November 2025, OnlyFans reported about 5 million creator accounts (only 2.5 million of them active), 437 million fan accounts, and $6.3 billion paid to creators. For the year ended 30 November 2024 its parent company Fenix International Ltd reported $7.22 billion in gross fan payments, 4,634,000 creator accounts and 377,456,000 fan accounts.
- Dividing the $6.3 billion paid out in FY2025 by 5 million registered creator accounts gives a mean of about $1,260 a year, or about $105 a month; dividing it by the 2.5 million active accounts gives about $2,520, or $210 a month. Both are arithmetic on an extremely skewed distribution, not a typical income.
- The most-cited distribution analysis (Thomas Hollands, 2020) found the top 1% of accounts took 33% of all money and the top 10% took 73%, with a median account earning about $180 a month. It is six years old, was never peer-reviewed, and has not been replicated.
- A profile badge such as Top 0.5% is a ranking against millions of mostly dormant accounts, not an income figure, and routinely overstates what a creator actually earns.
- After the 20% platform fee, any management share and a tax set-aside, a creator typically banks roughly 45-60% of what fans spend on their page.
The honest answer: nobody publishes earnings by gender identity
There is no reliable public dataset of OnlyFans earnings broken down by gender identity. OnlyFans does not publish one. No regulator requires one. No peer-reviewed study has produced one. Every "average trans OnlyFans salary" figure circulating online, including the ones on agency blogs, is either an unsourced guess or a platform-wide number quietly relabelled as trans-specific.
That is an uncomfortable answer for a page that exists to answer the question, so it is worth being precise about what is knowable. Three things are documented and citable:
- Platform-level totals, from OnlyFans' parent company's audited annual accounts filed in the UK.
- The shape of the income distribution, from one independent analysis that is now six years old and has never been replicated.
- The mechanics of what turns traffic into money (pricing, conversion, retention, hours), which are the same arithmetic for everyone.
Everything else on this page is built from those three, with the arithmetic shown so you can check it. Where a number does not exist, this page says so instead of filling the gap.
What the platform's own accounts show
OnlyFans is operated by Fenix International Limited, a UK-registered company, which means it files annual accounts at Companies House that are audited and publicly available. Those filings are the only OnlyFans earnings numbers with any external verification behind them. For the financial year ending 30 November 2024, reported in August 2025:
| Metric (year to 30 November 2024) | Reported figure | Change vs 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross fan payments (total spent by fans) | $7.22bn | +9% |
| OnlyFans' own net revenue (its 20% cut) | ~$1.4bn | up from ~$1.3bn |
| Profit after tax | $520m | up from $485m |
| Creator accounts | 4,634,000 | +13% |
| Fan accounts | 377,456,000 | +24% |
| Platform fee | 20% of every fan payment | unchanged |
| Dividends paid to shareholders in 2024 | $701m | — |
Two derived numbers matter more than any of those headlines.
Mean gross payout per creator account. OnlyFans keeps 20% and pays creators 80%, so:
- $7.22bn × 80% = $5.78bn paid to creators in FY2024
- $5.78bn ÷ 4,634,000 creator accounts = ≈ $1,246 per creator account per year
- That is ≈ $104 a month, before tax, before costs, before anything.
Mean spend per fan account. $7.22bn ÷ 377,456,000 fan accounts = ≈ $19 per registered fan account for the whole year. There are roughly 81 registered fan accounts for every creator account, which sounds generous until you notice that the average one of them spends less than $20 a year.
The newer year, and the number that changes the arithmetic
Reported on 25 August 2026 from a UK regulatory filing, OnlyFans said it paid creators $6.3 billion in the financial year ended 30 November 2025, and more than $30 billion across its first ten years. It came with two counts the previous year's reporting did not include:
| Metric (year to 30 November 2025) | Registered | Active during the year |
|---|---|---|
| Creator accounts | ~5,000,000 | 2,500,000 |
| Fan accounts | 437,000,000 | 132,000,000 |
The active split is the most useful thing OnlyFans has ever disclosed about creator earnings, because it changes the denominator under every per-creator average ever quoted:
- $6.3bn ÷ 5,000,000 registered creator accounts = ≈ $1,260 per account per year (≈ $105 a month)
- $6.3bn ÷ 2,500,000 active creator accounts = ≈ $2,520 per active account per year (≈ $210 a month)
Same money, double the average, purely because half the registered accounts did nothing all year. Both numbers are arithmetic on an extremely skewed distribution, not a typical income: where a small minority takes most of the money, the mean sits far above the median. If you are going to quote one of them, quote the active-account version and say which it is; the other averages in millions of people who were not trying.
The 25 August 2026 report does not give a gross fan-payment total for FY2025, so the $7.22 billion above remains the most recent published figure for what fans spent.
If you take only one thing from the platform's own filings, take this: OnlyFans is a very large business built on a very large number of people each spending very little. Your income is not a function of how many fans exist. It is a function of how many of them you personally reach and how much each of those spends.
Why that $1,246 average is close to meaningless
A mean across every registered creator account is the single most misleading number in this industry, and it is the one most often quoted. Four reasons:
- "Creator accounts" counts registrations, not workers. The 4.63 million figure includes accounts that were opened and abandoned, accounts opened to test the platform, accounts that posted once in 2021, and accounts belonging to people who have since moved to another platform. The FY2024 reporting never said how many were active; the FY2025 figures finally do, and the answer is half.
- The count grows faster than the money. Creator accounts grew 13% year on year while fan payments grew 9%. Mechanically, the average falls even if every working creator earns more, simply because more people signed up.
- Income follows a power law, not a bell curve. When a small number of accounts take a large share of revenue, the mean sits far above the median. The "average" creator in the arithmetic sense is not the typical creator in any useful sense.
- New joiners are counted for a full year. Someone who opened an account in October 2024 is in the denominator with two months of earnings, or none.
The honest way to use $1,246 is as a ceiling on optimism about averages, not as a forecast. It tells you the platform is not a place where merely existing produces income. It tells you nothing about what a creator who actually works produces.
How unevenly is OnlyFans income distributed?
Very, but the evidence for exactly how uneven is weaker than its ubiquity suggests.
The figures everyone quotes come from a single 2020 analysis, "The Economics of OnlyFans" by Thomas Hollands, which scraped publicly visible profile data and modelled earnings from it. It reported:
- the top 1% of accounts taking 33% of all money on the platform
- the top 10% taking 73%
- a median account earning around $180 a month
- a Gini coefficient of 0.83, which is more unequal than any national income distribution
Now the caveats, because they are load-bearing:
- It is from 2020. OnlyFans has since roughly quadrupled its creator account count. The distribution has almost certainly become more concentrated, not less, but that is an inference, not a measurement.
- It was never peer-reviewed or audited, and has not been replicated by an independent party.
- It modelled earnings from public signals (subscriber counts, prices, post counts) rather than observing payouts. Pay-per-view and tip revenue, which is where most serious income now sits, is invisible from outside a profile, so the analysis systematically understates high earners and cannot see spend concentration at all.
So: the shape of the finding is almost certainly right and is consistent with every other creator economy that has been measured. The specific numbers should be quoted with their date attached and never presented as current. Anyone citing "the median OnlyFans creator earns $180 a month" as a 2026 fact is quoting a 2020 model without saying so.
The practical consequence for you: platform-wide statistics describe a population that includes millions of people who are not trying. They do not describe your prospects, in either direction.
What does "Top 0.5%" on a profile actually mean?
It means a ranking, not an income. OnlyFans surfaces a percentile position for creator accounts, and creators display it on their profiles and in promotion. It is a genuine number, but it is routinely read as something it is not.
- The denominator is the problem. Being in the top 1% of about 5 million registered accounts means being ahead of the millions of dormant, abandoned and never-started accounts described above, and because only 2.5 million were active in FY2025, the top 1% of all accounts is roughly the top 2% of accounts that did anything at all. A large share of the accounts you are "beating" earned nothing.
- It is a rank, not a revenue band. The gap between the top 1% and the top 0.01% is enormous and invisible in the badge. Two creators can both display "Top 1%" while one earns ten times the other.
- It moves with activity, not just earnings. A creator who posts and sells consistently for a month can climb a percentile band without the underlying business changing.
Treat the badge as marketing copy, including when it is yours. If someone quotes a percentile at you as evidence of what you will earn, they are quoting the one statistic on the platform that is specifically designed to sound larger than it is.
For what each percentage band implies in money, and why nobody can honestly quote an entry threshold, see OnlyFans top 1% income.
How much do trans women make on OnlyFans?
No published dataset reports OnlyFans earnings for trans women as a group, so there is no average to give. What can be said is what drives the number, and there the picture is concrete.
Trans women arriving on OnlyFans face the same fundamental constraint as every other creator: OnlyFans has no internal discovery feed or search for explicit creators, so effectively all traffic is imported from outside the platform. Income therefore tracks the strength of an off-platform funnel more closely than anything on the page itself. That is why two creators with identical content and identical prices routinely earn amounts that differ by an order of magnitude. The difference lives on Reddit, X and TikTok, not on OnlyFans. Our trans OnlyFans marketing strategy guide covers how that funnel is built.
Two trans-specific factors genuinely change the arithmetic, and neither of them is a revenue figure:
- Platform risk is asymmetric. Trans creators report account restrictions and shadowbanning on the top-of-funnel platforms that everyone depends on for traffic. Traffic interruptions hit income directly, so platform-rule literacy is an earnings variable, not just a safety one. See the TikTok and Instagram rules for OnlyFans creators.
- Privacy work has a cost and a return. Geoblocking, identity separation, watermarking and takedowns take time and sometimes money, and for many trans creators they are non-optional. That is a real deduction from net income that platform-wide statistics never capture. The anonymity guide covers the setup.
Anyone who quotes you a specific monthly figure for "trans women on OnlyFans" is making it up. The defensible version of the question is: given X qualified visitors a month, Y% conversion and Z average spend, what does the model produce? That question has an answer, and it is in the drivers table below.
How much do trans men make on OnlyFans?
The data gap here is even wider. Trans men are a smaller share of adult-platform creators than trans women, they are not broken out in any platform statistics, and the independent analyses that exist do not record gender identity at all. There is no average, median or range that can be honestly reported.
What is structurally true: trans men occupy a genuinely underserved category, which cuts both ways. A smaller audience means lower ceiling traffic from broad channels. Less competition inside the category means a well-positioned creator can own a larger share of the search and community attention that does exist, and community-driven niches historically convert better and retain longer than broad ones, because the audience is deliberate rather than incidental. Higher retention is worth more than higher traffic at almost every scale, for reasons the drivers table makes explicit.
The practical implication is about strategy, not about a number: for a smaller category, subscriber lifetime value and direct-message revenue matter more than raw subscriber count, which pushes pricing toward a lower subscription and a stronger pay-per-view strategy.
How much do the top trans performers make on OnlyFans?
There is no verified public figure, and the leaderboards you have seen are not evidence. Those rankings are built by third-party sites from scraped subscriber counts and list prices, which miss pay-per-view and tip revenue entirely, the exact revenue lines where top earners make most of their money. OnlyFans does not confirm creator earnings, and creators who discuss their own income are self-reporting without verification.
The most that can be said rigorously is structural. On a platform where the top 1% of accounts have been estimated to take roughly a third of all revenue, the highest-earning trans creators sit inside that same top band, and the distribution within that band is itself extremely skewed. Occasionally a named creator discusses their earnings in an interview with a reputable outlet; that is a single data point about one person, in one year, with one audience, and it generalises to nobody.
This page will publish a range for top trans earners when a source exists that is worth citing. Right now one does not.
What actually determines how much you earn
This is the part that is knowable, because it is arithmetic rather than demography. Monthly revenue is roughly: qualified visitors × conversion rate × (subscription price + average additional spend per subscriber) × retention. Every lever below moves one of those terms.
| Driver | What it controls | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Qualified traffic | How many people see the page at all | The binding constraint for most creators. No discovery feed means every visitor is imported from Reddit, X, TikTok or collaborations |
| Conversion rate | Visitors who become subscribers | Set by the free page, bio, preview content and pricing fit: cheap to improve, and the improvement compounds against all future traffic |
| Subscription price | Revenue per subscriber per month | Usually the least important lever. A lower price that widens the top of the funnel often out-earns a higher one |
| PPV and chat share of revenue | Revenue beyond the subscription | For most serious earners this is the majority of income. The single biggest gap between a hobby account and a business |
| Retention | How many months a subscriber stays | Doubling average subscriber lifetime doubles revenue with zero extra traffic. Driven almost entirely by messaging responsiveness |
| Hours worked | Posting cadence and reply speed | Reply latency is directly monetisable: buying impulses are time-limited. This is what teams and chatters exist to solve |
| Niche and positioning | Who the audience is and how deliberate they are | A specific, well-served niche converts and retains better than a broad one, even with far less traffic |
| Platform choice | Fee structure, discovery, audience overlap | See Fansly vs OnlyFans for trans creators: the fee difference is smaller than the audience difference |
| Payout and tax friction | What survives the trip to your bank | Country-dependent and frequently underestimated. Covered in the payout schedule guide |
| Management | Whether the above is systematised or improvised | Changes execution consistency, not the underlying arithmetic |
If you want a forecast rather than an average, put your own numbers into that formula. It will be more accurate than any statistic on any website, because it is about your funnel.
Three of those levers have their own guides: free vs paid pages, tip menu ideas and making money without showing your face. If the numbers are not moving at all, start with the step-by-step diagnosis for a page that isn't making money.
From gross fan spend to money in your bank
Headline earnings are not take-home earnings. Here is the full chain, using round numbers. This table is illustrative arithmetic, not a projection and not a quote: the only figure in it that is a documented fact is the 20% platform fee.
| Step | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Gross fan spend on your page | $10,000 | What fans actually paid |
| − OnlyFans platform fee (20%) | −$2,000 | Documented in OnlyFans' terms and its parent company's accounts |
| = Your gross payout | $8,000 | This is what OnlyFans pays out to you |
| − Management share (illustrative 20%) | −$1,600 | Illustrative only. Agency rates vary widely and Bunny Agency's is not public |
| = Pre-tax business income | $6,400 | |
| − Business costs (illustrative 5%) | −$320 | Equipment, subscriptions, paid promotion, takedown services |
| − Tax set-aside (illustrative 30%) | −$1,920 | Entirely country-dependent: see the tax guide for trans creators |
| = Take-home | ≈ $4,160 | ≈ 42% of what fans originally spent |
Change the management share to 0% and the take-home rises to about $5,300, or 53% of gross fan spend. That is the real comparison to run before hiring anyone: not "what does the percentage cost" but "does the arrangement increase gross fan spend by more than the share it takes". The agency worth-it analysis works through that break-even properly.
Two practical notes. First, the tax line is a set-aside, not a bill: you are self-employed, tax is not withheld, and the money is yours until it isn't. Second, timing matters: money that fans spent this week is not money you can spend this week, because of the pending-balance period explained in the payout schedule guide.
Where Bunny Agency fits
Bunny Agency works on a revenue share with no upfront fees and no long-term contract, and creators keep ownership of and access to their accounts. OnlyFans pays out to the creator's own account, not to us. There is a dedicated team for trans and non-binary creators.
Published case studies are individual results and agency-wide, not trans-specific and not averages: $0→$330k in 3.5 months, $2k→$33k/month in two months, 4.5× revenue in 14 days, $0→$20k/month in 1.5 months. The stated average is a 50%–300% increase in monthly revenue within the first three months. Those are real published outcomes for specific creators across the whole roster; they are not a forecast for anyone else, and we do not present them as trans-creator data because they are not. More context is on /results and on /pricing.
Everything on this page works without us. If the funnel arithmetic above is something you would rather run yourself, run it yourself.
Methodology and limits
- Platform figures come from Fenix International Limited's UK regulatory filings for the years ended 30 November 2025 and 30 November 2024, reported by Variety in August 2026 and by Variety and Euronews in August 2025. Figures are as reported; we have not inspected the filings line by line.
- Derived figures ($1,246 and $1,260 per registered creator account, $2,520 per active creator account, $19 per fan account, 81 fans per creator) are our arithmetic on those reported totals, shown in full above so they can be checked. They are means, and a mean across a skewed distribution is not a typical income.
- Distribution figures come from a single 2020 independent analysis based on scraped public data. They are labelled with their date everywhere they appear and should not be quoted as current.
- No trans-specific earnings figure appears on this page, because no source we consider reliable publishes one. We would rather leave the gap visible than fill it.
- Not tax or financial advice. Tax treatment depends on your country and circumstances. Confirm with a professional. Our editorial policy explains how we source numbers, and /facts lists the claims we stand behind.
- Last verified: September 2026. Platform fees, account counts and terms change; check the primary sources listed below before relying on any figure here.

Frequently asked questions
How much do trans OnlyFans creators make on average?
Nobody knows, because no one publishes OnlyFans earnings by gender identity. The only platform-wide figures are means: OnlyFans paid creators $6.3 billion in the year to 30 November 2025 across about 5 million creator accounts, which is roughly $1,260 each, or about $2,520 across the 2.5 million accounts that were actually active. Both are averages over an extremely skewed distribution, not a realistic expectation for a working creator.
How much do the top trans OnlyFans performers make?
There is no verified public figure. OnlyFans does not publish creator earnings, the leaderboards circulated online are estimates built on scraped subscriber counts, and no audited list of top trans earners exists. The credible statement is structural: on a platform where the top 1% of accounts have been estimated to take a third of all revenue, the highest trans earners sit in that same top band.
Do trans creators earn more or less than other creators?
No dataset exists that answers this, in either direction. Claims that trans creators earn more because the niche is underserved, or less because of discrimination, are both unsourced. What is measurable is that earnings track traffic, conversion, retention and hours worked, and those levers work the same way regardless of gender identity.
How long does it take to start earning on OnlyFans?
The first payment usually arrives within days of the first subscriber, because you only need traffic and a live page. Meaningful, repeatable income is a different question: it depends on how long it takes to build an outside-platform audience, since OnlyFans has no discovery feed for explicit creators. Budget months, not weeks, and treat the first 90 days as audience building rather than income.
How much of my OnlyFans earnings do I actually keep?
OnlyFans keeps 20% of every fan payment, so you are paid 80% before anything else. From that you deduct a management share if you work with an agency, your own business costs, and income and self-employment tax in your country. A realistic net is roughly 45-60% of what fans originally spent, though the tax portion varies enormously by country.
