Mathematical Audit

OnlyFans Chargeback Loss Formulas

Estimate how credit card disputes affect net earnings, accounting for platform commission clawbacks and bank penalty fees.

Total Transactions = Monthly Gross Revenue ÷ Avg Transaction Value
Number of Chargebacks = Total Transactions × (Chargeback Rate ÷ 100)
Direct Loss = Number of Chargebacks × Avg Transaction Value
Dispute Penalty Fees = Number of Chargebacks × Chargeback Fee
Total Financial Loss = Direct Loss (Gross or Net) + Dispute Penalty Fees
Effective Net Revenue = (Monthly Gross × 80%) − Total Financial Loss

By default, OnlyFans clawbacks 100% of the disputed gross transaction value from the creator, meaning creators are forced to pay for OnlyFans' 20% platform commission out of their own pocket when a fan disputes a charge.
