How much do OnlyFans agencies charge?
Agency fees run from 20% to 80%, and the number on its own tells you almost nothing. What it is taken from, and what it has to buy you, decide whether you end up better off.
The short answer
Most OnlyFans agencies charge 30% to 50% of a creator’s net earnings, meaning what OnlyFans pays out after its own 20% fee. Chat-only agencies charge 20% to 30%, full management 40% to 50%, and the BBC found UK contracts taking up to 70%.
Sable charges 20% of net on Growth and 50% of the first $10,000 a month, then 40%, on Full. A fee taken from gross earnings costs you a quarter more than the same number taken from net.
What agencies charge in 2026
Reuters reviewed more than 160 agencies and found revenue shares from 20% to 80%, with a few charging flat fees instead. The BBC, which spoke to 60 UK creators in 2026, found contracts commonly taking around 50% and some taking 70%. Guides written by agencies cluster in the middle, and they agree on the shape of the market more than the exact numbers.
| Service level | Typical share of net | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Chatting only | 20% to 30% | A team answering DMs and selling paid messages. No traffic. |
| Traffic and pricing, you keep your DMs | 20% to 35% | Reddit, X and short-form socials run for you, subscription and PPV pricing, a content plan. |
| Full management | 40% to 50% | Everything above plus 24/7 chat, leak takedowns and reporting. |
| Starting a page from nothing, or the agency pays for ads | 50% to 60% | Justified only when the agency is putting money in, not just time. |
| Found in bad contracts | 60% to 80% | Usually aimed at beginners. Nothing an agency does is worth this. |
Two things matter more than the percentage. The first is what it is taken from. The second is how much the agency has to grow your page before you are better off than you were on your own.
Gross or net: the question that changes everything
OnlyFans keeps 20% of every dollar a fan spends. “Gross” is what fans spent. “Net” is what the platform pays you. An agency that takes 40% of gross takes the same money as one that takes 50% of net, and plenty of contracts quote the lower number without saying which base it uses.
| Agency share | You keep, per $1 a fan spends, if taken from net | If taken from gross |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | 64c | 60c |
| 30% | 56c | 50c |
| 40% | 48c | 40c |
| 50% | 40c | 30c |
| 70% | 24c | 10c |
On a page where fans spend $8,000 a month, the platform keeps $1,600 and pays you $6,400. An agency on 40% of net takes $2,560 and leaves you $3,840. The same agency on 40% of gross takes $3,200 and leaves you $3,200. Same headline number, $640 a month difference.
Ask: “Is your percentage taken from what fans spend, or from what OnlyFans pays me?” If the answer is not “what OnlyFans pays you”, multiply their number by 1.25 to get the real rate.
What the fee has to buy you
A revenue share only makes sense if the agency grows your page by more than it takes. The maths is fixed: at a share of X, your net earnings have to rise by 1 divided by (1 minus X) before you are back where you started.
| Agency share of net | Growth needed just to break even | Growth needed to be 25% better off |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | +25% | +56% |
| 30% | +43% | +79% |
| 40% | +67% | +108% |
| 50% | +100% | +150% |
| 60% | +150% | +213% |
This is why a 50% agency has to double your page before you see a penny more, and why a chat-only agency at 25% that adds no traffic so often leaves creators worse off. It is also why the best result we have had, a page up 250% in seven months, matters more than any percentage. The calculator runs these numbers for your own page.
Retainers, hybrids, tiers and add-ons
- Retainer. A flat $500 to $2,000 a month for basic cover, $5,000 and up for full service. Rare, and only sensible for big pages that want to cap the cost.
- Hybrid. A low fixed fee plus a smaller share, for example $500 a month plus 10%. Watch the fixed part: it is paid in a bad month too.
- Tiered. The share falls as revenue rises, for example 50% on the first $10,000 of net a month and 40% above it. This is the fairest shape for full management, because the agency’s fixed work does not grow with the page.
- Add-ons. Separate invoices for photo shoots, ad spend, software or “setup”. If a contract has a percentage and a list of extras, the percentage is not the price.
- Post-term commission. A share of earnings from fans gained while you were with the agency, paid after you leave. This is the clause that turns a 40% deal into one you cannot afford to end.
Published UK rates, side by side
Desirely, a directory that opened 235 agency sites one by one, found only 6% state a commission rate at all. These are the UK-facing agencies that do, as published on their own pages when we checked in October 2026.
| Agency | Published rate | Base | Chat included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sable Management | 20% (Growth); 50% then 40% over $10k (Full) | Net | Full only |
| TalentGrow | 60% below $10k a month, 50% to $30k, 40% above | Net | Yes |
| LuxChat | 50% on the first £20,000 a month, 45% above | Not stated | Yes |
| Bunny Agency | 25% to 50%, in the FAQ only | Not stated | Yes |
| She Creates | 15% to 50%, set after an interview, or a £1,000 a month fixed payment to the creator | Not stated | Yes |
| Most other UK agencies | Not published; revealed on a call | Unknown | Unknown |
If an agency will not put its rate on its own website, assume it changes depending on how much it thinks you will accept.
What Sable charges, and why it is shaped like this
Three plans, all month to month with 14 days’ notice and no exit fee. The platform pays you as normal, and we invoice our share from your statement.
- Launch, £299 one-off. For new creators. Page setup, pricing, a 30-day plan and a social funnel. There is no revenue to share yet, so it is a fixed price for a fixed piece of work.
- Growth, 20% of net. Traffic, pricing and PPV while you keep your own DMs. Priced like a chat-only agency, without the chat, because traffic is where the growth comes from and you break even at +25%.
- Full, 50% of the first $10,000 net a month, 40% above. Everything, including a 24/7 chat team in your voice. Tiered because the work does not double when the page does.
The full breakdown, with worked examples at every level, is on the pricing page.

Questions people ask
Do OnlyFans agencies charge upfront fees?
Managed plans should not. A revenue share means the agency only earns when you do. The exception is a fixed-price setup product for brand-new creators, where there is no revenue to share yet. Sable's Launch package is £299 one-off and nothing else.
Is 50% a normal agency cut?
It is common for full management with 24/7 chatting, and it is the top of the fair range. Above 50% of net, or 40% of gross, you need a very good reason, such as the agency paying for advertising out of its share.
What is a fair percentage for an OnlyFans agency?
20% to 30% of net for traffic and pricing without chatting. 40% to 50% of net for full management including chat. Anything taken from gross, or with commission that continues after you leave, is not fair at any percentage.
Do I pay tax on the agency's share?
You are taxed on your own income. In the UK, OnlyFans pays you, you invoice or are invoiced for the agency's share, and that share is a cost of your business. Keep the statements, because HMRC expects records of both the income and the costs.
Why do agencies quote different numbers for the same thing?
Because the base is different. 40% of gross and 50% of net take the same money from you. Always ask which one they mean, and ask for a worked example in dollars.
