OnlyFans take rate
Definition
In OnlyFans management, take rate is the total percentage taken from a creator's gross revenue by all intermediaries: platform + agency + tools. It is the ecosystem's total cost. A creator who understands their take rate can negotiate better and improve profitability.
Concrete example
Total take rate for an agency-managed model using Desirely: OnlyFans commission 20% + agency commission 40% of net = 52% of gross. If Desirely takes 10% on AI sales (already included in the agency share), the overall take rate stays around 52-55%. The model keeps 45-48% of gross.
Best practices
Calculate the total take rate for each model. Compare it with market standards. Optimize by negotiating the highest commissions or by switching platforms.
Key figures
Minimum take rate (solo model, no agency): 20-25% (platform commission only). Take rate with agency: 50-60% of gross. Take rate with agency + premium tools: 55-65% of gross.
Common mistakes
Never calculate the total take rate and be surprised by how little remains net.
