Methodology

Editorial principles

Five principles guide every figure on this site:

1. Primary sources first. Where Fenix International publishes a figure (via Companies House), that filing is canonical. We don't second-guess audited financial data.
2. Triangulate everything else. For figures Fenix doesn't disclose (demographics, country splits, traffic), we cross-check at least two independent panels — typically Similarweb plus Sensor Tower or Statista.
3. Label estimates as estimates. If a figure is panel-derived rather than audited, we say so on the page where it appears.
4. Cite per page, not per site. Each page has its own sources list with bracketed source IDs (e.g. [FENIX-2024]) that map to the master bibliography.
5. Date everything. Every page has a "Last updated" stamp; every figure has a year (e.g. "FY2024" rather than "2024" where the platform's fiscal calendar matters).

Primary data — the Companies House filing

OnlyFans is operated by Fenix International Ltd, a UK-registered private company. Fenix is required to file annual accounts with UK Companies House, and those filings are externally audited by a registered accountancy firm. Companies House filings are public — anyone can verify our headline figures against the original PDF.

The most recent audited fiscal year as of this page's last update is FY2024 (covering the twelve months ending 30 November 2024), filed in late 2025. From that filing we draw the canonical figures for:

• Gross fan payments ($7.22B in FY2024)
• Creator payouts ($5.80B)
• Platform net revenue ($1.41B)
• Pre-tax profit ($684M)
• Creator account totals (4.63M)
• Fan account totals (377.5M cumulative)

These six figures are the foundation of every derived number on the site. Average creator income, fan-to-creator ratio, country-share calibrations, etc — all anchor to the audited denominators above.

FY2025 status: Fenix's audited FY2025 accounts (year ended 30 November 2025) are due at Companies House by 31 August 2026. Until they are filed, any FY2025 figures cited on this site — such as the $1.4B platform net revenue and $666M operating profit reported by the press in May 2026 — are labeled press-reported, not audited. Panel-based traffic and compliance figures on this site currently reflect June 2026 data (Similarweb, June 2026; OnlyFans Transparency Center, June 2026).

Triangulation — what Fenix doesn't publish

Fenix International does not publish:

• Country-level traffic share or fan spend
• Audience demographics (age, gender)
• Mobile vs desktop split
• Per-creator earnings distribution
• Creator country distribution
• Active monthly user counts (only cumulative account totals)

For each of these, we draw on at least two independent third-party sources and report a figure only when they converge. Where they diverge meaningfully, we either pick the more methodologically defensible source or report a range.

Estimates vs. reported figures

On every page, figures are tagged in one of three categories:

• Reported — directly published by Fenix or another primary source. Default for revenue, payouts, profit, account totals.
• Estimated — derived from panel data or modeled from reported figures. Always labeled "estimated" or "derived" inline. Default for country spend, demographics, creator distribution.
• Self-reported — disclosed by the creator themselves (interviews, social posts). Default for top-earner figures. Always labeled with source type in the source-cell of the table.

Update cadence

Different figure types update at different cadences:

• Annual fiscal data (revenue, payouts, profit, account totals) — updated once per year, ~4-8 weeks after Fenix's Companies House filing is published.
• Traffic and spend panels — reviewed monthly; we update when our triangulation sources show consistent shifts >5% versus the prior published figure.
• Demographics — reviewed quarterly; updated only when measurable shifts are confirmed across multiple panels.
• Top-earner list — updated when new creator self-reports surface (interviews, leaked rankings).
• Regulatory landscape (OSA, DSA, state laws) — updated as enforcement milestones occur.

Corrections process

If you spot an error, a stale figure, or a mis-cited source, please email data@onlyfansstatistics.com. We respond to substantive correction requests within 5 working days.

Independence and conflicts of interest

onlyfansstatistics.com is independent of OnlyFans / Fenix International Ltd. We do not receive funding, content, or editorial direction from Fenix or from any creator or talent agency on the platform. Editorial decisions about what to publish and how to frame it are made independently.

We operate a sister property, bestonlyfansreviews.com, which provides editorial reviews of OnlyFans creators. The two sites operate under separate editorial standards, and statistics on this site do not reflect promotional considerations from the review site. Cross-promotion between the two sites is limited to footer links.
