OnlyFans Creators FAQ

Using OnlyFans may seem straightforward, but it can be overwhelming for beginners. To assist content creators and fans, here are some commonly asked questions:

How can I begin making money on OnlyFans?

To begin earning on OnlyFans, please follow these steps:

• Add your bank account that is registered under your own name. The bank account should be in the same country as the country that issued your verified photo ID as a Creator.
• As an alternative payout method, you can add a verified e-wallet.
• Complete your W-9 form (for US Creators).
• Ensure that your account is verified.
• Make sure you have set your subscription price. Please note that you may be unable to set a subscription price until your account has been verified.

How much of the payout do I receive?

The balance you see is the exact amount in USD that will be sent to your chosen payment method. Your bank may charge fees for currency conversion or transfers. Your e-wallet company may also charge fees to access the money. Payouts are in USD and will be converted to your account's currency. OnlyFans cannot control the currency exchange rates set by your bank.

Payout Percentages

Creators get 80% of the money they earn from subscriptions, paid messages, and tips. The other 20% is used for referral payments, payment processing, hosting, support, and other services.

Minimum withdrawal

The smallest amount you can withdraw depends on how you want to get paid. In most cases, it's $20. If you're a creator in the US, the minimum payout is $20. If you're a creator outside the US, you can find the smallest payout amount for your chosen payment method on your Banking page.

Account approval

To be approved as a Creator, you need to submit two photos:

• Close-up photo of your government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license, ID card)
