What OnlyFans agencies charge
There's no official rate. Every agency sets its own, and almost all of them charge a percentage of what the creator earns. What we do have is reporting from reputable news outlets and the rates some agencies publish themselves. When you compare, look just as closely at what each percentage includes and what it's calculated on.
| Source | What it found | Date |
|---|---|---|
| BBC (60 UK creators, plus contracts it reviewed) | 50% of earnings is typical; some contracts go up to 70% | June 2026 |
| Reuters (more than 160 agencies) | Most work on commission, from 20% to 80%; some charge a flat fee | July 2024 |
| Agencies that publish their rates | Chat only: 12.5% to 20% of net; full management: 25% to 60% | November 2026 |
Gross or net: what the commission is calculated on
The question isn't just how much an agency charges, but what it charges on. A percentage of what your fans pay (gross) isn't the same as a percentage of what OnlyFans pays you after its 20% fee (net). We always calculate on what actually reaches you, and we put that in writing.
| Item | Based on what OnlyFans pays you | If based on what fans pay |
|---|---|---|
| What your fans pay in a month | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| OnlyFans keeps 20% | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| OnlyFans pays you | $4,000 | $4,000 |
| 30% commission | $1,200 | $1,500 |
| You keep | $2,800 | $2,500 |
| Actual commission on what you receive | 30% | 37.5% |

How Ofagen charges
We charge a percentage of what OnlyFans pays you after its 20% fee. The rate depends on your plan (chat, full management or launch from scratch), and it's in the written proposal, with an example using your numbers, before you sign anything. There's no setup fee.
The commission covers our work. Any other cost is discussed with you first and approved in writing.
- Included: the chat team working in shifts, the person in charge of your account, strategy, our CRM and the monthly report.
- Included: the initial audit and onboarding.
- Extra, and only if you approve it: a budget for paid promotion (for example, shoutouts on other creators' accounts) and third-party services, such as leak takedowns through a specialist provider.
Our terms, always in writing
The BBC found contracts that demanded the account password and fined creators for leaving early. We do the opposite, and you can read it all before you sign.
- The commission for your plan and what it's calculated on, with an example using your numbers.
- The notice period to end the agreement: short, with no penalty for leaving.
- A clean exit: we remove access and hand over your exported data.
- Your limits, and who'll work on your account.
- How invoicing works: monthly, with the math laid out from what OnlyFans paid you.
Frequently asked questions
How much do OnlyFans managers make?
Usually a percentage of what the creator earns. According to the BBC, 50% is typical in the UK and some contracts go up to 70%, while Reuters found rates from 20% to 80%. Agencies that only handle chat publish lower rates, from 12.5% to 20% of net earnings.
Should commission be on gross or net?
On net, meaning what OnlyFans pays you after its 20%. A 30% commission on what fans pay works out to 37.5% of what you actually receive. Always ask for the contract to state what the commission is calculated on.
Do I have to pay anything to get started with Ofagen?
No. There's no setup fee and the audit is free. We only charge a percentage of what OnlyFans pays you once we start working together, and you get that figure in writing first.
Is there a lock-in period?
The contract sets a short notice period for ending it, with no penalty for leaving. When you go, we remove access and hand over your exported data.
How is the commission paid?
OnlyFans pays you directly. Each month we send you an invoice that shows the math, based on what the platform paid you that month.
Does OnlyFans recommend any agency?
No. OnlyFans says it doesn't work with or endorse any agency, and it recommends getting independent advice before you sign. Be wary of any agency that claims to be an official partner.
