The 2026 U.S OnlyFans Creator Census: Creators & Income by State

California is home to 15.4% of US OnlyFans creators in OnlyGuider’s data, more than any other state. Florida follows with 12.3%.

OnlyFans doesn’t publish creators or income by state. Nationally, the US brought in $965 million of OnlyFans’ revenue in the year to November 2025, or 62.2% of the total.

In this article, we’ll break down US OnlyFans creators by state, estimate how many there are, and show what the filings say about income, taxes and fan searches by state.

Key U.S. OnlyFans Creator Statistics

  • In OnlyGuider’s data, California is home to 15.4% of US OnlyFans creators and Florida to 12.3% (November 2026).
  • 8 states hold 60.5% of US OnlyFans creators in OnlyGuider’s data, led by California, Florida and New Jersey.
  • 18.7% of OnlyFans creators are based in the US, about 2.3 times the share in the UK, according to OnlyGuider data from November 2026.
  • The US generated $965 million of OnlyFans’ revenue in the year to November 2025, 62.2% of the total.
  • US fans paid about $4.9 billion on OnlyFans in FY2025, and creators kept about $3.9 billion of it (our calculation).
  • Michigan was the state name typed most often into OnlyGuider’s search between March and October 2026, with 773 searches from visitors anywhere.
  • Eight states levy no individual income tax and Washington taxes only capital gains, so 9 don’t tax wages in 2026, according to the Tax Foundation.

Which State Has The Most OnlyFans Creators?

California has the most OnlyFans creators of any US state, with 15.4% of US creators in OnlyGuider’s data as of November 2026. Florida is second at 12.3%, and New Jersey third at 8.1%.

Together, California and Florida account for 27.7% of US creators, or more than 1 in 4 (our calculation).

There’s no official count to check this against. OnlyFans doesn’t publish creators by state, so OnlyGuider’s state shares are the closest available measure.

Here’s a breakdown of OnlyFans creators by state, alongside each state’s share of US adults:

Horizontal bar chart of US OnlyFans creators by state in OnlyGuider's data: California 15.4%, Florida 12.3%, New Jersey 8.1%, Oklahoma and Texas 5.3% each

These 8 states hold 60.5% of US creators in OnlyGuider’s data (our calculation). We name only states with at least about 4% of US creators, and we don’t treat gaps of a point or two between them as meaningful.

Florida holds 12.3% of US creators in OnlyGuider’s data, while it’s home to 7.1% of US adults.

Texas runs the other way. It’s home to 8.9% of US adults but 5.3% of creators in OnlyGuider’s data.

New Jersey and Oklahoma also rank higher than their populations suggest. Treat their positions as approximate rather than a firm ranking.

OnlyFans Creators In The Other States

Illinois, New York and Maryland each hold between 3% and 4% of US creators in OnlyGuider’s data, and Georgia between 2% and 3%.

Here’s how the remaining states group, without a rank order inside each group:

“Not in the data” doesn’t mean a state has no OnlyFans creators. It means none of the creator profiles in OnlyGuider’s data listed it.

How Many OnlyFans Creators Are There In The US?

There’s no official count of OnlyFans creators in the US. OnlyFans had 5.06 million creator accounts worldwide at the end of November 2025, according to its annual report, but it doesn’t split them by country.

About 2.5 million of those accounts are active, according to company filings reported by Tubefilter in August 2026.

In OnlyGuider’s data, 18.7% of OnlyFans creators are based in the US, the largest share of any country. That’s about 2.3 times the UK’s 8.3% (our calculation).

Here’s how the US compares with the next-largest creator countries in OnlyGuider’s data:

CountryShare Of OnlyFans Creators
United States18.7%
United Kingdom8.3%
Canada7.3%
Australia5.6%
Argentina5.1%

Source: OnlyGuider data, November 2026. Shares are among profiles with a listed country.

Horizontal bar chart of OnlyFans creators by country in OnlyGuider's data: United States 18.7%, United Kingdom 8.3%, Canada 7.3%, Australia 5.6%, Argentina 5.1%

If that 18.7% share held across all 5.06 million accounts, the US would have roughly 950,000 OnlyFans creator accounts, and roughly 470,000 active ones (our estimate).

Treat that as a rough guide, not a count. US visitors make up 32.1% of OnlyGuider’s audience, which may tilt the mix toward American creators.

One poll runs much higher.

2% of respondents in a 2022 CivicScience poll of US adults said they were OnlyFans creators, according to CivicScience. Extrapolated to 269.8 million US adults, that would be about 5.4 million people, more than OnlyFans’ entire global count (our calculation).

The poll likely captures people who have ever posted rather than working creators. The full worldwide picture, year by year, is in our breakdown of how many OnlyFans creators there are.

US creators look much like creators elsewhere. Women make up 81.9% of US creators in OnlyGuider’s data, men 10.3% and trans creators 7.8%, and women’s profiles can be browsed in OnlyGuider’s best OnlyFans models rankings.

How Much Do US OnlyFans Creators Earn?

$965 million of OnlyFans’ revenue came from the US in the year to November 2025, according to the company’s annual report. That’s up 6.2% on the year before and 62.2% of all revenue (our calculation).

OnlyFans counts only its fee as revenue, 19.8% of what fans paid in FY2025. On that basis, US fans paid about $4.9 billion, and creators kept about $3.9 billion of it (our calculation).

Here’s how OnlyFans’ US revenue has grown since FY2021:

Financial YearUS RevenueChange Over Previous YearChange (%)
FY2021$648.6 million––
FY2022$732.7 million↑ $84.1 million↑ 13.0%
FY2023$863.3 million↑ $130.6 million↑ 17.8%
FY2024$909.1 million↑ $45.8 million↑ 5.3%
FY2025$965.4 million↑ $56.3 million↑ 6.2%

Source: Fenix International annual reports, FY2022–FY2025. Financial years end November 30; changes are our calculation.

Bar chart of OnlyFans revenue from the US by financial year: $648.6 million in FY2021 rising to $965.4 million in FY2025

US revenue is 1.49 times its FY2021 level, an average of 10.5% a year (our calculation). Even so, the US share of revenue has slipped from 69.6% in FY2021, as the year-by-year figures on OnlyFans’ official revenue show.

This money likely reflects where fans pay, not where creators live. A fan in Ohio can subscribe to a creator in Canada, so the $3.9 billion isn’t the income of US-based creators.

Is there data on OnlyFans income by state?

$965 million is the only official US income figure, and it covers the country as a whole. OnlyFans doesn’t publish earnings by state, and no public dataset measures them.

We don’t split the US total by state. State shares of creators aren’t an official count, and fan spending doesn’t follow creators’ home states.

The closest benchmark is the average.

OnlyFans paid creators $6.2 billion in FY2025, or about $1,225 per creator account worldwide (our calculation). Most accounts earn far less, which is why average OnlyFans income says little about a typical creator.

Prices are one thing OnlyGuider can measure.

In OnlyGuider’s data, 54.4% of US creators offer a free subscription, compared with 47.7% of all creators, and those charging set a median price of $10 a month. Many of them are listed among the best free OnlyFans accounts.

The Tax Effect: What Creators Keep By State

Eight states levy no individual income tax and Washington taxes only capital gains, so 9 don’t tax wages in 2026, according to the Tax Foundation. They include Florida, Texas and Nevada, while California has the highest top rate, 13.3%.

That matters for take-home pay, since US creators keep 80% of fan payments.

Self-employed people generally owe self-employment tax of 15.3% (12.4% Social Security on the first $184,500 in 2026, plus 2.9% Medicare) once net earnings reach $400, according to the IRS, on top of federal and state income tax.

Here’s how state income tax compares across the states with the most creators in OnlyGuider’s data:

StateShare Of US OnlyFans CreatorsTop State Income Tax Rate (2026)
California15.4%13.3%
Florida12.3%None
New Jersey8.1%10.75%
Oklahoma5.3%4.5%
Texas5.3%None
Nevada4.8%None
Arizona4.8%2.5% (flat)
Ohio4.5%2.75% (flat)

Sources: OnlyGuider data, November 2026; Tax Foundation, February 2026. Rates are top marginal rates for single filers.

About 1 in 4 US creators in OnlyGuider’s data, 25.8%, live in a state with no tax on wages. That’s a little above those states’ 22.5% share of US adults (our calculation).

The rate that applies depends on income. California’s 13.3% top rate applies only to income above $1 million, as does New Jersey’s 10.75%.

Alabama taxes adult sites directly. Since September 1, 2025, it has charged a 10% tax on the gross receipts of commercial entities operating adult websites, according to the Alabama Department of Revenue.

The notice covers content produced, sold, filmed, generated or otherwise based in Alabama. It places the tax on commercial entities operating adult websites and doesn’t mention individual creators.

The platform’s cut doesn’t vary by state either. OnlyFans’ 20% fee is the same for every creator, wherever they live.

OnlyFans By State: What Fans Search For

Michigan was the most-searched US state name on OnlyGuider between March and October 2026, with 773 searches. Indiana (741) and Ohio (620) came next.

California drew just 117 searches.

These are state names typed into OnlyGuider’s search, wherever the visitor is. OnlyGuider doesn’t know which state a searcher is in, so the counts show interest in a state, not where fans live.

Here are the 10 most-searched state names on OnlyGuider:

Midwestern state names lead the list. The 12 states of the Census Bureau’s Midwest region drew 33.7% of state names typed into OnlyGuider’s search, from visitors anywhere (our calculation).

Maine and Arkansas drew 385 and 381 searches, even though no creator profile in OnlyGuider’s data lists either state.

How We Compiled These Statistics

We reviewed 219 data points from 8 sources. OnlyGuider data covers the 5,000 creator profiles that received the most clicks on OnlyGuider between October 5 and November 3, 2026 (4,808 of them on OnlyFans).

Country, state, gender and subscription price are taken from OnlyGuider’s creator index as of November 4, 2026. Country is listed for 2,790 of the OnlyFans profiles, including 523 in the US, and a US state for 357 of them.

State shares are calculated among the 357 profiles with a listed state. We name states with at least 15 profiles (about 4% of the total) and group the rest by share band.

With samples this size, a difference of 1 or 2 percentage points between states isn’t meaningful.

Site search figures cover 316,635 searches for named categories on OnlyGuider between March and October 2026, where one visitor searching one term on one day counts once.

State-name figures cover 15,457 of those searches; Washington is not included, and “Georgia” can also refer to the country. Audience figures come from OnlyGuider’s Google Analytics for November 2025 – November 2026.

Revenue comes from Fenix International’s annual reports for FY2021 to FY2025, and active accounts from company filings reported by Tubefilter in August 2026. US fan payments, creators’ share and per-account figures are our calculations from those filings.

The US creator count is our estimate, applying OnlyGuider’s US share to OnlyFans’ global totals; it isn’t an official figure.

Adult population figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s estimates for July 1, 2025, tax rates from the Tax Foundation, the IRS and the Alabama Department of Revenue, and the CivicScience figure from a poll of US adults published in March 2022.

Key Takeaways

California is home to 15.4% of US OnlyFans creators in OnlyGuider’s data, and Florida 12.3%, together more than 1 in 4. OnlyFans itself publishes no state figures, and no official US creator count exists.

The money is clearer at the national level. The US generated $965 million of OnlyFans’ revenue in FY2025, 62.2% of the total, which implies about $4.9 billion paid by US fans (our calculation).

State names typed into OnlyGuider’s search point somewhere else: Midwestern states drew 33.7% of them, led by Michigan, while California drew just 117.

Platform-wide figures, from fan accounts to payouts, are collected in the latest OnlyFans statistics.

15.4% of US OnlyFans creators are based in California in OnlyGuider’s data from November 2026, more than any other state. Florida is second with 12.3% and New Jersey third with 8.1%. OnlyFans doesn’t publish creators by state, so there’s no official ranking to compare against.

How many OnlyFans creators are there in the US?

950,000 creator accounts is our rough estimate for the US, if the 18.7% US share in OnlyGuider’s data held across OnlyFans’ 5.06 million accounts. About 470,000 of them would be active. OnlyFans doesn’t publish a US count, so treat this as a rough guide rather than an official figure.

Is there official OnlyFans data by state?

62.2% of OnlyFans’ revenue came from the US in FY2025, but the company reports that figure only for the country as a whole. It doesn’t publish creator counts or earnings by state.

Do OnlyFans creators pay state income tax?

Eight states levy no individual income tax and Washington taxes only capital gains, so 9 don’t tax wages in 2026, according to the Tax Foundation.

Author

  • Sam Pierce

    Founder & CEO, OnlyGuider

    Built OnlyGuider from a spreadsheet to the leading search in the category — 1M+ monthly active users on a 24-hour-fresh index that’s become the default way people find OnlyFans creators. Quoted by NY Post, Vice, Yahoo News, FOX 4, CBS, Boston 25, and the Toronto Sun on how the creator economy actually works.

    Why he built it

    Sam was hunting for the right business to build. One chart kept climbing faster than anything else online — OnlyFans. He signed up as a user to understand the demand.
    He hit a wall in the first hour. The biggest creator economy on the internet had no real search, no activity filters, no way to tell who was still posting. Curated lists went stale in a week. The platform had no front door.
    He started building one. Not a directory — a crawler that checked real activity 24/7 and scored every profile automatically. Three pillars: last seen, user behavior, profile freshness. Re-scored every 24 hours. No manual lists, no bought rankings, no opinions.
    That became AlgoRank. That became OnlyGuider. Now it’s the way people search the platform.

    “The platform had millions of creators and basically no way to find the good ones. That was the whole product thesis.”
    — Sam Pierce, Founder & CEO, OnlyGuider
