MYM Fees Explained
Written by Sophia Brecht Published Last updated
MYM fees come in two layers. MYM keeps a commission of 25% on subscriptions and 20% on push and private media, lives and tips, and it separately deducts bank fees of 3.5% or 7%, calculated on the price the fan paid including VAT. In the example printed in MYM’s creator contract, a €100 media bought by a fan in France leaves the creator €73.28.
We read the contract (the CGS, version of 24 July 2025) and the help centre’s fees article on 30 September 2026. MYM may change its rates with 15 days’ notice, so check the current creator terms before you rely on any number here.
What MYM fees apply to each type of sale?
The commission depends on what was sold: 25% for subscriptions and 20% for everything else. Creators with SuperStar status pay one percentage point less, although MYM’s documents disagree on whether that reduction reaches tips.
| Revenue line | Standard commission | SuperStar, per contract | SuperStar, per help centre |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subscriptions | 25% | 24% | 24% |
| Private and push media | 20% | 19% | 19% |
| Lives and private shows | 20% | 19% | Not mentioned |
| Tips | 20% | 19% | 20% |
The contract also allows “exceptions agreed between the parties”, so an individual creator can be on other terms. SuperStar status needs at least 50 active subscribers throughout the month, two feed posts a week and an average of 48 hours to answer requests and deliver private media, and MYM reviews it on the 1st of each month.
How do MYM’s bank fees work?
They are a second deduction, separate from the commission: 3.5% of the VAT-inclusive transaction for low-risk accounts and 7% for high-risk ones, according to the contract. The help centre’s fees article, updated on 22 August 2026, states a flat 7% for everyone.
High risk, in MYM’s words, covers adult or sexy content, clairvoyance and astrology, and content linked to a regulated activity. MYM sets the class “freely”, in its own word, together with its payment providers. Because the fee is taken on the price with VAT, a fan in a country with high VAT costs the creator a little more in bank fees than a fan outside the EU buying at the same list price.
In what order does MYM take its share?
VAT first, bank fees second, commission last. The contract starts from the price before VAT, subtracts bank fees calculated on the VAT-inclusive amount, and takes MYM’s commission from what remains. Here is MYM’s example worked through for two fans, one case from the contract and one from the help centre:
| Step | Fan in France | Fan in the United States |
|---|---|---|
| Price set by the creator, before VAT | €100.00 | €100.00 |
| VAT added at checkout | €20.00 (20%) | €0.00 |
| Amount the fan pays | €120.00 | €100.00 |
| Bank fees deducted, 7% of what the fan pays | €8.40 | €7.00 |
| Base left for the commission | €91.60 | €93.00 |
| MYM commission deducted, 20% | €18.32 | €18.60 |
| Creator’s earnings | €73.28 | €74.40 |
The VAT never reaches the creator’s earnings, because MYM collects it from EU fans and passes it to the state. It still costs the creator something indirectly, through the bank fee: the French fan’s €20 of VAT adds €1.40 to the fee, which is why the creator nets €1.12 less than on the American sale.
What does a creator keep from a MYM subscription?
Less than the 75% in the help centre suggests. Apply MYM’s formula to a €10 subscription bought by a fan paying 20% VAT: (€10 minus 7% of €12) × 75% leaves the creator €6.87, or 68.7% of the list price. At the 3.5% bank fee the same subscription leaves €7.19. That arithmetic is ours, since MYM does not publish it.
MYM’s company site says creators receive “80% of revenue on average”. That line leaves out both the 25% subscription rate and the bank fees, so we would not build a budget on it.
Is there MYM VAT for the creator to pay?
Not on fan purchases. EU fans pay VAT on top of your price, and MYM sends it to the state. Your own VAT only comes into play with a professional account registered for VAT in France, which adds 20% VAT to the invoice it sends MYM with each payout; MYM taxes covers personal and professional status.
There is one more currency effect to know about. The contract warns that when a fan pays in another currency, the conversion MYM applies can change what the creator earns.
Do promo codes and refunds change the fees?
Yes, and it depends on who issued the code. A promo code from MYM comes out of MYM’s commission, so the creator earns the same. A code the creator issues lowers the price first, and commission and bank fees are then applied to the discounted amount.
Refunds are MYM’s decision: the contract lets it refund a fan “freely and arbitrarily”. MYM absorbs fraud up to 1% of a creator’s turnover on the platform, and the creator bears anything beyond that.
Where do MYM’s documents contradict each other on fees?
In two places: the bank fee (3.5% or 7% in the contract, a flat 7% in the help centre) and the SuperStar rate on tips (19% in the contract, 20% in the help centre). The contract is what creators accept, so we treat it as the reference. A creator unsure which bank fee applies can ask MYM’s support to confirm the account’s risk class in writing.
How do MYM fees compare with OnlyFans and with an agency?
OnlyFans’ terms state a fee of 20% of the fan payment and mention no separate processing charge, so MYM costs more on subscriptions and adds a layer OnlyFans does not list. The MYM vs OnlyFans page compares the two in full.
An agency’s commission is another layer on top of both. Our pricing sets out what Bunny Agency charges, MYM payouts explains when the net amount reaches your bank, and how much you can make on MYM puts these deductions next to what MYM pays creators overall.
