OnlyFans net revenue vs. gross revenue
Definition
In OnlyFans management, gross revenue is the total amount generated before any deductions. Net revenue is what remains after platform, agency, and tool fees. The distinction is crucial because the gaps are huge: a model that "makes $10,000" gross may in reality take home only $4,000 to $5,000 net.
Concrete example
Breakdown of $10,000 gross revenue: OnlyFans commission 20% (-$2,000) = $8,000 platform net. Agency commission 40% (-$3,200) = $4,800 for the model. If the agency uses Desirely (10% commission on AI sales), the AI cost is built into the agency share.
Best practices
Always communicate whether figures are gross or net. Calculate targets and compensation on net. Build a clear breakdown table for each model.
Common mistakes
Promising a model gross earnings without explaining deductions. When the first payout arrives and it is 40-60% lower than expected, the relationship breaks down.
