How Much Does an OnlyFans Agency Take?
What an agency’s cut is taken from, how a split that shrinks as you grow works, and the questions to ask before you agree to any percentage.
In short
Most confusion about agency cuts comes down to two things: what the percentage is taken from, and whether it ever changes. Ask about both before you sign. Our own cut shrinks as you grow, dropping at $10K a month and again at $30K.
Start with what the percentage comes from
Before you compare numbers, find out what each number is taken from. OnlyFans keeps 20% of what fans spend and pays the other 80% to the creator. An agency can take its share from the full amount fans spent, known as gross, or from what actually reaches your balance, known as net.
The difference is bigger than it looks. If fans spend $25,000 in a month, OnlyFans keeps $5,000 and $20,000 reaches your balance. Half of gross would be $12,500. Half of net is $10,000. Same percentage, different money.
Nocturnal Talent works from net. Our share is always worked out on what reaches your balance after OnlyFans has taken its 20%.
Flat splits and splits that change as you grow
Agencies tend to price in one of a few ways: one flat percentage on everything, a percentage plus a fixed fee, or rates that change as earnings grow. None of these is fair or unfair on its own. What matters is what you keep at the level you’re at now, and at the level you’re aiming for.
A flat split is easy to follow, but it never rewards growth. Whether your page nets $3,000 or $60,000 in a month, the percentage the agency keeps never moves.
What matters is what you keep at the level you’re at now, and at the level you’re aiming for.
How the Nocturnal Talent split works
Our cut shrinks as you grow. Each rate applies only to the part of your monthly net earnings that falls inside its band:
Up to $10,000 a month: we keep 60% and you keep 40%.
From $10,000 to $30,000 a month: we split it evenly, 50/50.
Above $30,000 a month: you keep 60% and we keep 40%.
Reaching a new band never changes the rate on the money below it. A page that nets $12,000 in a month isn’t suddenly on 50/50 for the whole $12,000. The first $10,000 stays at the first rate, and only the last $2,000 is split evenly.
Worked examples
Net | You keep | Your share |
|---|---|---|
$8,000 | $3,200 | 40% |
$20,000 | $9,000 | 45% |
$40,000 | $20,000 | 50% |
At $20,000 net, the first $10,000 gives you $4,000 and the next $10,000 gives you $5,000. At $40,000, you get $4,000 from the first band, $10,000 from the second and $6,000 from the $10,000 above $30,000.
The reason for building it this way is simple. We only earn more when your page earns more, and the bigger it gets, the more of each new dollar stays with you.
Questions to ask any agency about its cut
Put these to any agency before you sign:
Is the percentage taken from gross or from net?
Does the rate change as earnings grow, and does a new rate apply to everything or only to the part above the threshold?
Are there any fees on top of the percentage?
How and when is the agency’s share paid, and can you see the numbers it’s based on?
What happens to the split if you leave?
Any agency you’d trust with your page should answer all of these in writing before you sign. To run your own numbers against ours, the pricing page has the full breakdown, and you can apply whenever you’re ready.
