OnlyFans Statistics 2026: Creators, Fans, Revenue

TL;DR. The most reliable OnlyFans statistics in 2026 come from the platform's own audited accounts. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, parent company Fenix International reported $7.22 billion in gross fan spend (up 9 percent), $5.80 billion paid to creators, 4.63 million creator accounts (up 13 percent), and 377.5 million registered fan accounts (up 24 percent). The platform kept its published 20 percent fee, producing $1.41 billion in net revenue and $684 million in pre-tax profit. The corporate picture then reset in 2026: owner Leonid Radvinsky died in March at age 43, and in May the company sold a 16 percent stake to Architect Capital for $535 million, implying a valuation of roughly $3.15 billion. For an agency owner, the pattern underneath the headlines matters more than the headlines: creator supply has grown faster than fan spend for three consecutive years, the average payout per creator account keeps falling, and earnings remain concentrated in a thin top slice. The platform is still growing. The average account is not.

Most of what ranks for OnlyFans statistics is a hall of mirrors: aggregator sites quoting each other, all of them ultimately recycling a handful of filings and one independent scrape from 2020, rounded and re-dated to look fresh. This page takes the opposite approach. Every number below sits in one of three buckets: audited filing data from Companies House, reported 2026 corporate events with named outlets behind them, or derived arithmetic that is clearly labeled as arithmetic. Anything that cannot be verified gets hedged as the practitioner range it actually is. And because this is written from the fleet-operator seat rather than the trivia seat, each section ends with the same question: what does this number change about how you run a roster?

Headline OnlyFans statistics for 2026

The current stat set, in one place. Filing figures are for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024, the most recent audited year available in mid-2026.

• Gross fan spend: $7.22 billion, up 9 percent year over year.

• Paid to creators: $5.80 billion, up 9 percent. Cumulative payouts since 2016 have passed $25 billion.

• Platform net revenue: $1.41 billion, up 8 percent, consistent with the published 20 percent platform fee.

• Pre-tax profit: $684 million, up 4 percent.

• Creator accounts: 4.63 million, up 13 percent.

• Fan accounts: 377.5 million registered, up 24 percent.

• Headcount: roughly 46 direct employees per the filing, with the operational work handled largely by contractors.

• Platform fee: a flat 20 percent of transactions; creators keep 80 percent.

• Subscription pricing band: $4.99 minimum to $49.99 maximum per month.

• Ownership: Leonid Radvinsky, who bought 75 percent of Fenix International in 2018, died in March 2026; control passed to his estate, with his widow reported as taking charge of the company.

• Valuation: a 16 percent stake sold to Architect Capital for $535 million in May 2026, implying roughly $3.15 billion for the whole business.

Creator numbers and growth trends

Start with the supply side, because it is the side most statistics pages get lazy about. How many OnlyFans creators are there? The filing answer: 4.63 million creator accounts as of November 30, 2024. The more useful answer is the trajectory:

• FY2021: 2.16 million creator accounts

• FY2022: 3.18 million, up about 47 percent

• FY2023: 4.12 million, up about 29 percent

• FY2024: 4.63 million, up about 13 percent

Two things are true at once. Creator growth is real, and creator growth is decelerating hard: from roughly 47 percent annual growth to 13 percent in three years. The pandemic-era land rush is over. What remains is a steadier inflow of new accounts entering an increasingly crowded market.

One caveat that almost every aggregator skips: these are accounts, not people. A single creator can hold multiple accounts (a main page and a lower-priced page is a standard agency structure), and the count includes dormant and abandoned accounts that were never deleted. The real population of active, earning creators is smaller than 4.63 million, and the filing does not break out how much smaller.

The agency read: the deceleration is not bad news for you. A 47 percent supply surge is a stampede; a 13 percent drip is a market maturing around incumbents. The operators who win in a maturing market are the ones with distribution systems, not the ones who arrived early. That is the central theme of our state of the OnlyFans agency industry report, and every number below reinforces it.

Fan accounts and spending: the $7.22 billion year

Now the demand side. OnlyFans revenue in the sense most people mean it (total fan spend on the platform) reached $7.22 billion in FY2024. The multi-year series:

• FY2021: $4.80 billion gross fan spend

• FY2022: $5.55 billion, up about 16 percent

• FY2023: $6.63 billion, up about 19 percent

• FY2024: $7.22 billion, up about 9 percent

Fan accounts grew much faster than spend: 188 million in FY2021, 238.8 million in FY2022, 305.1 million in FY2023, and 377.5 million in FY2024, a 24 percent jump in the latest year alone.

How many people use OnlyFans, then? Not 377.5 million in any meaningful monthly-active sense. That figure counts registered fan accounts ever created, including free sign-ups that never spent a dollar, duplicates, and accounts abandoned years ago. The platform does not publish monthly active users, so any site quoting a precise "monthly users" number for 2026 is modeling, not reporting.

The arithmetic is where it gets interesting. Divide spend by fan accounts and you get about $19 of gross spend per registered fan account in FY2024, down from roughly $26 in FY2021. That decline does not mean paying fans are spending less; it mostly means the registered base is accumulating non-payers faster than spend grows. But it tells you something an agency owner should internalize: the marginal sign-up is worth less than the historical one. Traffic volume alone is a weakening currency. Conversion and monetization depth, which in practice means pricing structure and paid chat, are where the money now moves. Also worth holding in your head: at 377.5 million fan accounts against 4.63 million creator accounts, there are roughly 81 registered fan accounts per creator account. Attention per creator is thinner than the topline growth suggests.

Average OnlyFans earnings: average, median, and the top 1 percent

This is the section where most statistics pages quietly mislead, so let us be precise about which number is which.

The arithmetic average. Divide $5.80 billion in creator payouts by 4.63 million creator accounts and the average payout per creator account in FY2024 was about $1,250 for the year, roughly $104 a month. That is simple division on filing figures, not a line the company publishes, and it counts dormant accounts. Run the same division across prior years and the trend is the real story: roughly $149 per account per month in FY2021, about $117 in FY2022, about $108 in FY2023, and about $104 in FY2024. Average gross payout per creator account has fallen roughly 30 percent in three years, because account growth outran spend growth every single year.

The median. The only widely cited independent look at the earnings distribution remains a scrape-based analysis by data scientist Thomas Hollands, published around 2020, which found the top 1 percent of accounts earning about 33 percent of the money, the top 10 percent earning about 73 percent, and a median active account taking home in the neighborhood of $180 a month. Treat those figures as a dated snapshot of the distribution's shape, not a current measurement; nearly every "2026 earnings statistics" page you will find is recycling that same 2020 analysis with a new date stamp. The honest 2026 statement is: the distribution was extremely top-heavy when it was last independently measured, the filing-level arithmetic has only gotten thinner since, and nothing published suggests the concentration has eased.

What this means in practice. "Average OnlyFans earnings" is close to a meaningless number, because the distribution is a power law: a thin top slice captures most of the spend, and the middle is far below the average that the top drags upward. For a creator, that is discouraging. For an agency, it is the entire business case. Agencies exist to move creators from the undifferentiated middle into the monetized top, through traffic engineering, pricing, and paid-chat conversion that a solo creator rarely sustains. A roster of median-performing creators is a payroll problem; a roster with even a few top-decile accounts is a business. That is also the honest frame for the perennial creator question of whether an OnlyFans agency is worth it: against a median of a few hundred dollars a month, management only makes sense when it credibly changes which part of the distribution a creator lives in.

Platform business: valuation, ownership, and the 20 percent fee

The platform's own economics are worth knowing because they shape its incentives, and its incentives shape your operating environment.

The fee. OnlyFans takes a flat, published 20 percent of transactions; creators keep 80 percent. FY2024 net revenue of $1.41 billion against $7.22 billion of gross spend is that fee at work. Every dollar your agency earns, and every dollar your white-label partners earn, comes out of the creator's 80 percent, which is why commission structure and margin math deserve real scrutiny; the agency financial model and margins breakdown walks that chain end to end.

The margin machine. Pre-tax profit of $684 million on $1.41 billion of net revenue is roughly a 48 percent pre-tax margin, produced by a company reporting only about 46 direct employees. That is on the order of $30 million of net revenue per employee, which is extraordinary by any software benchmark, made possible by pushing the labor (content, marketing, chatting) onto creators and the agencies that serve them. The filing also reported $497 million in dividends to the owner for FY2024. You are the workforce this platform does not have to employ. Price your services accordingly.

The 2026 ownership reset. Leonid Radvinsky, the businessman who bought 75 percent of Fenix International from its founders in 2018, died on March 20, 2026, at age 43, after a cancer diagnosis that had been kept private; the company announced his death on March 23. Reporting since then indicates control passed to his estate, with his widow taking charge of the parent company. Then in May 2026, Fenix sold a 16 percent stake to Architect Capital for $535 million, implying a valuation of about $3.15 billion. Context matters here: reporting during 2025 had floated potential sale valuations as high as roughly $8 billion, and early-2026 reports described talks around a majority stake at higher implied values, so the final minority deal landed well below the most optimistic numbers that circulated. The full chain of who controls what, and what it plausibly means for platform policy, is covered in who owns OnlyFans now.

The pricing rails. The platform's subscription band runs from a $4.99 floor to a $49.99 ceiling per month. Those two numbers quietly define every pricing strategy on the platform, because they force monetization above the ceiling into pay-per-view and tips. Our guide to OnlyFans subscription pricing covers how to position within the band.

What the numbers mean for OnlyFans agencies

Statistics pages usually stop at the numbers. Here is the operator interpretation, which is the part the aggregator domains cannot write.

1. Supply has outgrown demand three years running. Creator accounts grew 47, 29, and 13 percent across FY2022 to FY2024; gross spend grew 16, 19, and 9 percent. Every year, more accounts competed for proportionally less spend, and the average payout per account fell about 30 percent over the period. The implication is blunt: there is no platform tailwind left for the average account. Growth now has to be manufactured through off-platform traffic, and the agencies that treat traffic as an engineering discipline rather than a posting habit are taking share from the ones that do not.

2. Concentration is the product you sell. If the top decile takes the large majority of spend, then an agency's real job description is percentile migration: moving a creator from the 50th percentile to the 90th. That reframes roster strategy. Fewer creators, moved further up the distribution, beat a wide roster of accounts drifting at the median, both in revenue and in labor cost per dollar earned. It also reframes niche selection, because some archetypes and room-types convert traffic to paid subscribers far better than others; the data-driven view is in which OnlyFans niches actually convert.

3. The marginal fan is worth less, so conversion depth is worth more. Fan accounts grew 24 percent while spend grew 9 percent. Whatever mix of dormancy and thinner cohorts drives that, the operational conclusion is the same: raw reach is depreciating, and the money is in what happens after the click. Pricing structure, pay-per-view cadence, and paid-chat quality now carry more of the revenue than they did in the land-rush years.

4. The ownership reset argues for professionalism, not panic. A founder-owner's death, an estate transition, and a private-capital minority investor arriving within three months is a lot of corporate change for one platform. Nothing in the public record suggests imminent policy upheaval, and the fee structure and payout mechanics have stayed put through the transition. But a platform now answerable to outside capital is, over time, likelier to tighten compliance, formalize enforcement, and optimize its own take. Agencies that already run clean verification, documented consent, and diversified off-platform funnels lose nothing if that tightening never comes, and lose least if it does.

How to read OnlyFans statistics without getting fooled

A short field guide, because you will keep encountering numbers that contradict this page.

Check the fiscal calendar. Fenix's fiscal year ends November 30. The "2024" figures here were filed and reported in 2025 and remain the newest audited data in mid-2026; the FY2025 accounts should surface later in 2026. Any page claiming audited "2026 revenue" today is mislabeling.

Accounts are not people. Creator accounts include duplicates and dormant pages; fan accounts are cumulative registrations, not active users. Both inflate any per-capita intuition you form from them.

Trace the earnings claims. Almost every "average creator earns X" claim online descends from either the filing arithmetic (which includes dormant accounts) or the 2020 Hollands scrape (which is five years stale). If a page cites neither, it is guessing.

Prefer transactions to rumors on valuation. The May 2026 stake sale at an implied $3.15 billion is the only real price ever put on the business by an actual transaction. Headlines from the 2025 talks quoted much higher numbers that no one ultimately paid.

FAQ: OnlyFans statistics

How many OnlyFans creators are there in 2026?

The most recent audited figure is 4.63 million creator accounts as of November 30, 2024, per Fenix International's Companies House filing, up 13 percent year over year. Note that this counts accounts, not people: multi-account creators and dormant pages are included, so the active earning population is smaller. Growth has decelerated sharply, from roughly 47 percent in FY2022 to 13 percent in FY2024.

How many people use OnlyFans?

The filing reports 377.5 million registered fan accounts, up 24 percent year over year. That is cumulative registrations, not monthly active users, and it includes free accounts that never spent anything. OnlyFans does not publish an active-user figure, so any precise "monthly users in 2026" number you see elsewhere is an estimate, not a platform disclosure.

What is OnlyFans revenue in 2026?

The latest audited year (fiscal 2024, ended November 30, 2024) shows $7.22 billion in gross fan spend, of which $5.80 billion went to creators and $1.41 billion was retained by the platform as net revenue, with $684 million in pre-tax profit. Fiscal 2025 accounts had not been published as of mid-2026, so these remain the current official numbers.

What are average OnlyFans earnings?

Simple division of filing figures gives about $1,250 in gross payouts per creator account for FY2024, roughly $104 a month, and that average has fallen about 30 percent since FY2021. The median is lower still: the last independent distribution analysis, a 2020 scrape by data scientist Thomas Hollands, put the median active account near $180 a month with the top 1 percent of accounts earning about a third of all the money. Averages mislead here because earnings follow a power law.

Who owns OnlyFans in 2026?

Majority ownership sat with Leonid Radvinsky, who bought 75 percent of parent company Fenix International in 2018 and died in March 2026 at age 43. Reporting indicates control passed to his estate, with his widow taking charge, and in May 2026 the company sold a 16 percent stake to investment firm Architect Capital for $535 million.

How much is OnlyFans worth?

The May 2026 sale of a 16 percent stake for $535 million implies a valuation of roughly $3.15 billion, and it is the only real transaction ever to price the business. Earlier press reports during 2025 floated potential valuations as high as about $8 billion in sale talks that did not complete, so treat the $3.15 billion figure as the market-tested number.

What percentage does OnlyFans take from creators?

A flat 20 percent of transactions; creators keep 80 percent. This is a published platform fact, and it has held steady through the 2026 ownership changes. Agency commissions, chatter pay, and any white-label fees all come out of the creator's 80 percent share, which is why margin math matters more than headline revenue in agency planning.
