Fanfix Payout Calculator
Estimate Fanfix platform fees and net creator payout
Fanfix payout calculator FAQs
What fees does this Fanfix calculator include?
This tool focuses on the Fanfix platform fee and any extra payout fee you choose to model. You set one percentage (20% by default) and an optional fixed amount per payout, and the calculator estimates total fees and your net payout in USD.
How much does Fanfix usually take from creators?
Fanfix generally runs on an 80/20 revenue split, where creators keep about 80% of gross revenue and Fanfix keeps around 20% to run the platform. The fee % field starts at 20.0, but you can tweak it if terms change or you want to test other splits.
What should I enter as gross Fanfix earnings?
Use the total amount fans pay before fees for a period — subscription renewals, paid messages, tips, unlocks, and bundles. You can model a single day, a week, or a full month; the math works the same as long as all numbers are in USD.
Does this include agency splits, management cuts, or tax?
No. To stay simple, the calculator only covers Fanfix-style platform fees plus any fixed payout fee you add. Agency commissions, talent management percentages, income tax, and self-employment tax are outside the scope of this tool.
Is this an official Fanfix earnings tool?
No. This is an independent planner to help creators estimate what they keep after platform fees. Always rely on your Fanfix dashboard, payout provider, and tax advisor for final numbers and compliance decisions.
How to use this Fanfix payout calculator
This Fanfix payout calculator is built for creators who want a quick, no-spreadsheet way to understand what they actually take home after platform fees. Instead of guessing what 80/20 looks like in practice, you can plug in your earnings, apply a fee %, and see a clean breakdown of gross, fees, net payout, and effective fee rate.
1. Enter your gross Fanfix earnings for a period
Start by entering your gross Fanfix earnings in USD. That’s the total your fans paid in subscriptions, Tip-to-DM, unlocks, and other monetized content before Fanfix takes its cut. You can use a single week, the last 30 days, or any custom window — just stay consistent when you compare different scenarios.
2. Add a net payout goal if you’re planning income
If you’re working toward a certain income, use the “You want to receive after fees” field. This tells the calculator to work backwards from your target net and show the minimum gross earnings you’d need on Fanfix to hit that goal after the fee % and any fixed payout fee.
3. Match the fee settings to Fanfix and your payout setup
By default, the fee field is set to a 20% platform share with no fixed payout fee, mirroring the common Fanfix 80/20 model. If you want to test alternative platforms, layered fees, or extra bank charges, adjust the platform fee % and other payout fees fields and run the calculation again.
4. Read the breakdown to see what you truly keep
The results card highlights one main number — either your net payout on the gross earnings you entered or the required gross to reach your net goal. Under that, the breakdown shows gross earnings, total platform and payout fees, net to you, and the effective fee %. That makes it easy to compare Fanfix against Patreon, OnlyFans, or other membership sites.
5. Use the copyable summary for planning and comparisons
After you hit Calculate, use the Copy summary button to grab a text version of the results. You can paste this into your notes, a budgeting sheet, or a strategy doc while you test different subscription prices, bundle offers, and cross-platform moves.
Keep in mind that this calculator focuses on platform-style fees only. It doesn’t consider agencies, ad spend, editing costs, or tax. Treat it as a fast way to understand the Fanfix slice of your creator business, then layer in your full expenses and tax planning to get a complete picture of profit.
How the Fanfix payout math works
The Fanfix payout calculator uses the same simple model as many creator platforms: a percentage fee plus an optional fixed payout fee. Let G be your gross Fanfix earnings in USD for a given period, r the platform fee as a decimal (for example 0.20 for 20%), and f any extra fixed payout fee you choose to include.
Total fees are:
Fanfix fees = G × r + f
Your net payout after those fees is:
Net payout = G − (G × r + f)
When you enter a target net payout instead, the calculator rearranges the equation to solve for the gross you need. If N is your desired net in USD, the minimum gross earnings required are:
Required gross earnings = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)
The effective fee percentage shown in the results is:
Effective fee % = Fanfix fees ÷ gross earnings × 100
All outputs are estimates in USD rounded to two decimal places and are meant for planning only, not as official accounting or tax records.
