Fansly Payout Calculator
Estimate Fansly payout and real take-home in USD
How to use this Fansly payout calculator
This Fansly payout calculator helps you see how much of your fan spending you actually keep after the platform cut and any payout or banking fees you want to model. It also lets you reverse the math: start from a target monthly take-home and see how much gross revenue you need to generate from subscriptions, tips, and pay-per-view content.
1. Enter your gross Fansly earnings or target net (or both)
Begin with the creator gross earnings box. Use your current month’s revenue, a projected goal, or a typical week of earnings scaled up. This should be the total amount fans spend on you on Fansly before platform fees are taken.
If you already know what you want to clear — for example, “I want to bring home $2,000 per month from Fansly alone” — fill in the “You want to receive” box. The calculator will then show the minimum gross earnings you need so that your chosen net remains after fees.
2. Keep the 20% cut or test your own assumptions
Fansly commonly works with an 80/20 split, where creators keep around 80% and the platform keeps about 20% of fan spend. The Fansly platform cut field is set to 20% by default for that reason. If you want to stress test different scenarios — or if the fee structure for your account changes — adjust this percentage and run the calculation again.
3. Use the fixed fee to model payout and banking costs
While Fansly may not charge extra “hidden” processing fees, your payout route can still have per-transfer costs (bank wires, fintech services, or crypto withdrawal fees). The fixed fee field lets you add a simple per-payout cost on top of the platform cut so your estimate is closer to what actually lands in your bank or wallet.
4. Read the breakdown to see what you really keep
After you hit Calculate, the result box shows a headline number — either your net payout after fees or the gross earnings needed to reach your target net. Under that, the breakdown includes:
- gross creator earnings from fans,
- total platform + fixed payout fees,
- your net payout after fees, and
- the effective fee percentage on your revenue.
In target mode, you also see how much you must generate from fans so platform and payout costs don’t quietly erase your goals.
5. Use it for income planning and “what if” projections
Use this calculator when you set monthly goals, build dashboards, or sanity-check income claims. Try a few “what if” scenarios: increase your target take-home, change the platform percentage, or add a realistic fixed payout fee. The Copy summary button gives you a clean, text-only breakdown you can paste into Notion, Sheets, or your personal budget.
Keep in mind that this tool focuses on platform-level and payout fees only. It doesn’t include taxes, refunds, chargebacks, promo spend, or your own business costs like content production and marketing. Treat it as a fast way to understand how much of your Fansly revenue you actually keep — then layer on your wider business numbers for a complete picture.
How the Fansly payout math works
The calculator treats the Fansly share as a percentage platform cut plus an optional fixed payout fee. Let G be your gross earnings from fans in USD, r be the platform fee percentage as a decimal (for example 0.20 for 20%), and f be any fixed payout or banking cost you want to model per payout.
The total fee on those earnings is:
Total fees = G × r + f
The net payout that actually lands with you 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 earnings needed. If N is the net amount you want to receive, the minimum gross you should generate from fans is:
Required gross = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)
The effective fee percentage shown in the results is simply total fees divided by gross earnings, expressed as a percentage:
Effective fee % = (Total fees ÷ Gross earnings) × 100
Because Fansly supports subscriptions, tiers, tips, and pay-per-view, your real numbers will move around as your mix changes. This simple model gives you a fast baseline for “How much does Fansly keep?” and “What do I actually take home?” without opening a spreadsheet every time you want to test a new goal.
