How the calculation works
The calculator adds up what your fans pay you in a month: subscribers times your monthly price, plus your pay per view (PPV) and tips income. That total is your monthly fan payments.
Then it takes off each platform's fee. Fansti takes a flat 12 percent of everything, so you keep 88 percent. For your current platform, it uses that platform's public fee, for example 20 percent on OnlyFans or Fansly according to their public pages. The yearly figure is the monthly figure times 12. You can also pick "other" and type any percent.
What counts as take home
Take home here means what is left for you after the platform fee, before your own taxes. On Fansti, nothing else comes out of it. Payouts cost nothing from Fansti, and there is no monthly fee for creators. The full list is on our Fansti fees page.
Fans pay the processing fee
Each fan payment goes through a card or crypto processor. On Fansti, that processing fee is shown to the fan at checkout and paid by the fan. That is why it does not appear in your take home: it never comes out of your 88 percent.
Examples at 9.99 USD a month
Here are hypothetical examples with subscriptions only, at 9.99 USD a month, comparing a 20 percent platform with Fansti at 12 percent.
| Subscribers | Monthly fan payments | You keep at 20 percent | You keep on Fansti | Extra per month | Extra per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 | 499.50 USD | 399.60 USD | 439.56 USD | 39.96 USD | 479.52 USD |
| 200 | 1,998.00 USD | 1,598.40 USD | 1,758.24 USD | 159.84 USD | 1,918.08 USD |
| 1,000 | 9,990.00 USD | 7,992.00 USD | 8,791.20 USD | 799.20 USD | 9,590.40 USD |
The gap is always 8 percent of what your fans pay. Add PPV messages and tips and the gap grows with them, because Fansti takes the same 12 percent on those too. To see how OnlyFans handles each type of income, read how much OnlyFans takes.
