How much does the average OFM agency make?

OFM agency earnings vary widely based on the number and quality of creators managed. A solo operator managing 3-5 creators typically earns $3,000-$10,000/month in management fees. A small team agency managing 10-20 creators earns $15,000-$60,000/month. Top agencies managing 50+ creators can exceed $100,000/month in management fees.

What is a good profit margin for an OFM agency?

Healthy OFM agency profit margins range from 20-40% of management fees. Solo operators can achieve higher margins (40-60%) since they have minimal overhead, while scaled agencies with teams typically run at 20-35% net profit margins after team costs, tools, and marketing expenses.

How long does it take to earn six figures from an OFM agency?

Reaching $100,000 per year in management fees ($8,333/month) is achievable within 6-12 months for focused operators. This typically requires managing 5-10 creators with average monthly earnings of $3,000-$7,000 each at a 25-30% commission rate.

OnlyFans Agency Revenue Benchmarks: What Top Agencies Actually Earn (2026)

Understanding what other OFM agencies actually earn helps you set realistic goals, benchmark your performance, and identify where you are leaving money on the table. This article compiles revenue benchmarks, profit margins, and performance data from the OFM agency space in 2026, breaking down the numbers by agency size and maturity.

What Do OFM Agencies Actually Earn?

Agency revenue is a function of three variables: number of creators managed, average creator earnings, and commission percentage. Let us break down realistic numbers at each stage.

How Much Do Solo Operators Earn?

Solo operators managing 1-5 creators represent the majority of OFM agencies. Here are realistic monthly earnings:

Creators Managed	Avg Creator Revenue	Commission Rate	Monthly Agency Revenue	Annual Revenue
1	$2,000	25%	$500	$6,000
2	$3,000	25%	$1,500	$18,000
3	$4,000	30%	$3,600	$43,200
5	$5,000	30%	$7,500	$90,000

Key insight: The path to meaningful income is not just about adding more creators. Increasing average creator earnings through better management has a bigger impact than signing additional low-earning creators.

How Much Do Small Team Agencies Earn?

Agencies with 2-5 team members managing 10-20 creators enter a different tier:

Creators Managed	Avg Creator Revenue	Commission Rate	Monthly Gross	Team & Tool Costs	Monthly Net
10	$5,000	30%	$15,000	$7,000	$8,000
15	$6,000	30%	$27,000	$12,000	$15,000
20	$7,000	30%	$42,000	$18,000	$24,000

At this stage, the agency operator’s primary value shifts from doing the work to managing the team and acquiring high-value creators.

How Much Do Scaled Agencies Earn?

Established agencies managing 30-50+ creators operate as real businesses:

Creators Managed	Avg Creator Revenue	Commission Rate	Monthly Gross	Total Costs	Monthly Net Profit
30	$7,000	30%	$63,000	$38,000	$25,000
40	$8,000	30%	$96,000	$55,000	$41,000
50	$8,000	30%	$120,000	$72,000	$48,000

The top-performing agencies in the industry manage 100+ creators and generate seven figures annually in management fees.

What Are the Key Revenue Metrics to Track?

Successful agencies obsess over a handful of metrics that directly predict profitability.

What Is Revenue Per Creator?

Revenue per creator is the single most important metric for agency profitability. Here is how it breaks down across the industry:

Bottom 25% of agencies: $1,000-$3,000/month average creator revenue
Median agencies: $3,000-$6,000/month average creator revenue
Top 25% of agencies: $6,000-$15,000/month average creator revenue
Elite agencies: $15,000+/month average creator revenue

The gap between bottom and top performers is dramatic. An agency managing 10 creators at $10,000/month average earns the same as an agency managing 33 creators at $3,000/month average, but with one-third the operational overhead.

How to increase revenue per creator:

Better content strategy and scheduling
More effective fan engagement and upselling
Cross-platform promotion (Reddit, Twitter/X, TikTok, Instagram)
PPV and mass message optimization
Custom content pricing optimization
Subscriber retention focus over pure acquisition

What Is Your Creator Churn Rate?

Creator churn, the rate at which creators leave your agency, directly impacts revenue stability and growth costs.

Excellent churn rate: Less than 5% per month
Average churn rate: 5-10% per month
Concerning churn rate: 10-15% per month
Critical churn rate: Above 15% per month

Every creator who leaves costs you their revenue plus the acquisition cost of finding a replacement. Reducing churn by even 2-3% per month has a massive compounding effect on annual revenue.

What Is Your Effective Take Rate?

Your effective take rate is what you actually earn after accounting for all costs, not just your headline commission percentage.

Calculation: (Total management fees - Total costs) / Total creator revenue under management

Example:

Total creator revenue: $50,000/month
Commission at 30%: $15,000
Total costs: $8,000
Effective take rate: ($15,000 - $8,000) / $50,000 = 14%

Benchmark effective take rates:

Bootstrapped solo operator: 18-25%
Small team agency: 12-18%
Scaled agency: 8-14%

What Drives the Difference Between Average and Top Agencies?

The data reveals clear patterns that separate high-performing agencies from average ones.

How Do Top Agencies Acquire Better Creators?

Top agencies are selective about which creators they sign. They look for:

Existing audience: Creators who already have 5,000+ followers on social platforms
Content quality: Creators who produce professional-grade content
Work ethic: Creators who post consistently and respond to management guidance
Growth trajectory: Creators showing upward trends rather than plateauing

Average agencies take any creator willing to sign. Top agencies maintain selectivity even when they have capacity for more.

How Do Top Agencies Retain Creators Longer?

Creator retention is primarily driven by three factors:

Demonstrable results: Creators who see revenue growth stay. Top agencies invest heavily in performance tracking and share wins with creators regularly.
Transparent communication: Weekly or bi-weekly reports, proactive updates, and honest conversations about strategy build trust.
Professional tools: Using a proper CRM like Xcelerator enables the automated reporting and data visibility that creators expect from a professional agency.

How Do Top Agencies Optimize Revenue?

Beyond basic management, top agencies extract more revenue per creator through:

PPV pricing optimization: Testing different price points and content types to maximize per-message revenue
Mass message strategy: Targeted mass messages based on fan spending history and engagement patterns
Tip menu optimization: Structured tip menus that encourage higher-value interactions
Custom content pricing: Data-driven pricing for custom requests based on fan spending capacity
Cross-platform monetization: Expanding successful OnlyFans creators to Fansly, Instagram subscriptions, and other platforms

What Are Realistic Revenue Goals by Timeline?

Here is what a focused, well-executed agency launch can realistically achieve:

Timeline	Creators	Avg Creator Rev	Monthly Agency Rev	Cumulative Net Profit
Month 1	1	$2,000	$500	$300
Month 3	2-3	$3,000	$1,800	$3,500
Month 6	4-5	$4,000	$4,500	$15,000
Month 12	7-10	$5,000	$12,500	$60,000
Month 18	12-15	$6,000	$24,000	$140,000
Month 24	15-20	$7,000	$35,000	$280,000

These numbers assume consistent execution, reinvestment in growth, and gradual improvement in average creator quality. Results vary significantly based on creator selection, market conditions, and operational efficiency.

How Do You Benchmark Your Own Agency?

Use this framework to assess your agency’s performance:

Step 1: Calculate your current metrics

Total creator revenue under management
Total management fees collected
Total operating costs
Net profit
Revenue per creator
Monthly creator churn rate

Step 2: Compare against benchmarks

Are you above or below median for your agency size?
Where are the biggest gaps?
What is your effective take rate?

Step 3: Identify highest-impact improvements

Is your revenue per creator below benchmark? Focus on performance optimization.
Is your churn rate high? Focus on creator communication and results delivery.
Are your costs above benchmark? Audit your tool stack and team efficiency.

What Does the Future Look Like for OFM Agency Revenue?

Several trends are shaping agency revenue in 2026 and beyond:

Creator professionalization: As more creators treat OnlyFans as a full-time business, demand for professional management increases. This is good for agencies.
