How much do you really keep with your current agency?
Work it out like this: what your fans pay, minus 20% for OnlyFans, minus your agency's share, minus everything you pay yourself, such as chatters, tools or ads. In the worked example, only $2,800 of $10,000 in revenue is left before tax. You can run your own numbers right here.
- Fans pay$10,000
- OnlyFans, 20%−$2,000
- Agency share−$4,000
- Chatters, tools, ads you pay yourself−$1,200
- you keep before tax$2,800
28% of what your fans pay

Chatters: 8 hours a day, 30 days, $5 an hour, the top of the $2 to $5 an hour reported by Swiss broadcaster SRF (2025, in German). Not a typical case, just arithmetic.
| Value | What is documented | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 20% for OnlyFans | The fee is 20% of every fan payment. In the OnlyFans statistics of Nora (name changed) it is exactly 20%: $40,117.50 gross, $32,094 net. | OnlyFans Terms of Service, August 2024 version; our case study |
| 50% for the agency | Common according to a BBC investigation with 60 creators in the UK. The BBC doesn't say whether of gross or net. | BBC News, 15 Jun 2026 |
| 70% for the agency | The highest share in contracts the BBC saw. An extreme case, not an average. | BBC News, 15 Jun 2026 |
| 20 to 80% | The range of shares across more than 160 agencies examined. | Reuters, 31 Jul 2024 |

The switch
What does maevia take over when you switch agencies?
While your old contract is still running, we get to know each other and run the numbers. We work on your account no earlier than the day your contract ends, once your logins are back with you. You write your notice yourself, together with a lawyer if you have questions.
While your contract is running
- 01
Intro call
We get to know you: your account, your goals, your limits. And we find out whether we're a good fit.
- 02
Run the numbers
We go through your current deal with you line by line: revenue, share, costs on top, what you keep.
- 03
Your notes
You write down what you yourself know about your voice, your limits, your regular fans and your plans. It is only passed on after your contract ends.
- 04
Your notice
You write and send it yourself, with proof of delivery. Whether and when you can give notice is for a lawyer to clarify, not us.
Your contract ends
From the day your contract ends
- 05
Logins in your hands
You take back your email, password and two-step verification and keep them. Every person on the team gets their own login.
- 06
Handover with a plan
Before the team writes the first message, you go through your notes with it, including open customs and promises to fans.
- 07
Trial month
A no-obligation trial month with a weekly report. You read along with every message.
What belongs in a handover?

Your contract
Does your contract feel like a trap?
Whether a contract holds up legally, only a lawyer can tell you. But the feeling of being stuck usually has reasons you can read for yourself. These seven places in your contract are worth knowing before you talk to a new agency.

In depth
Do you have to pay for chatters and tools yourself?
No law and no OnlyFans rule says you do. It depends entirely on your contract. Some agencies bill chatters, tools or ads on top of their commission. At maevia, chatters and tools are included in the commission, and there is no separate invoice for them.
Costs on top are tricky because you pay them even when your revenue drops. The agency earns a smaller cut, but your bill for the chatters stays the same. If you run the example above with $15 instead of $5 per chatter hour, $1,200 a month becomes $3,600, and you keep $400 of $10,000 in revenue. So check your statements: is there only a share, or do invoices for chatters, software or ads come on top? Who chats with your fans at maevia is explained on the page about our chatting service.
Is a two-year contract term normal?
There is no evidence that it is. We know of no study measuring how common such long terms are in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They do happen, often together with a long notice period or an automatic renewal.
Whether your contract term holds is something only a lawyer can tell you, not us and not another agency. At maevia you start with a no-obligation trial month. We go through what applies after that transparently in the intro call. How to spot a trustworthy agency before you sign is covered in How to spot a legitimate OnlyFans agency.
Can maevia get you out of your contract?
No, and a trustworthy agency won't promise you that either. Whether and when you can leave a contract is a legal question about your specific case. In Germany, only someone authorised to give legal advice may assess it, usually a lawyer. We are not a law firm, we don't review your contract legally and we don't write your notice for you.
What we do: we run the numbers with you, plan the handover and start no earlier than the day your old contract ends. Which ways to end a contract exist in German law in general, from the notice period in the contract to termination without notice for good cause, is explained in our guide Switching your OnlyFans agency (in German). It also has a general sample notice that you adapt to your contract together with your lawyer.
How does the trial month work after the switch?
The first month after your start at maevia is a no-obligation trial month with no upfront costs. During that month you experience the team, the chats in your voice and the weekly report in real operation. You read along with every message and every week you see the same numbers that are in your account.
Compare the trial month honestly with the months before. A dip in the first weeks is possible, and nobody can guarantee otherwise. Which numbers belong in a good report is covered in Your agency's monthly report, and how the management continues after that on the page about OnlyFans management. Applying takes two minutes, and we get back to you personally within 24 hours, even if your old contract is still running.
