A tip menu turns vague generosity into a price list a fan can act on in one tap. Here are the items that actually sell, what creators charge for them in 2026, and the platform limit that stops your most expensive item from being tippable at all.

An OnlyFans tip menu is a short, priced list of things a fan can pay for on the spot: a personalized message, a rating, a photo set, a custom clip. Most menus that work have five to nine items, start around $5, and top out between $50 and $100. The single most common mistake is pricing the top item above what the platform will actually let a fan send: a fan account under four months old is capped at $100 per tip, and even an established fan is capped at $200.
That cap matters more than it sounds, because nearly every tip menu guide online tells you to add a $200 or $500 “anchor” item to make everything else look cheap. Anchoring is sound pricing psychology. It just stops working when the payment rail refuses the transaction. If your newest fans are the ones most likely to splurge, and they are, then a $250 line on your menu is not an anchor, it is a dead end that returns an error.
We run a competing creator platform, so treat our pricing opinions as informed but interested. The prices below are market ranges collected from what creators publish, not rules, and the platform limits are the ones OnlyFans documents in its own help material. Your own earnings screen is always the authority.
A tip menu is a list of actions or content with fixed prices next to them, posted where fans can see it, so that tipping becomes a purchase decision instead of a guess. Fans send the amount as a tip and you deliver the item. It is not a built-in OnlyFans feature with its own button. You build it yourself as a pinned post, a message, or an image, and fans use the ordinary tip control to pay.
The reason it lifts income is boring and reliable: it removes the two frictions that stop people tipping. A fan who wants to give you money but has no idea what is normal will usually give nothing. A fan looking at “Voice note, $10” knows exactly what $10 buys and whether they want it.
These are the items that appear most often on menus that fans actually order from, with the price bands creators publish. Pick five to nine, not twenty. A long menu reads like a chore and buries the items you most want to sell.
| Tip menu item | Typical price | Why it sells |
|---|---|---|
| Personalized voice note | $5 to $15 | Cheap for you to make, feels one to one, near zero delivery time |
| Rate me | $10 to $25 | The classic impulse buy; price it higher if you write a real paragraph |
| Custom shoutout | $15 to $25 | Fans want their name said out loud; very repeatable |
| Photo set (10 or more) | $10 to $25 | Already shot, so it is pure margin on work you have done |
| Sexting session, per minute | $2.50 text, $3.50 voice | Sell it in blocks of 10 or 15 minutes, never open ended |
| Video, 5 to 10 minutes | $10 to $25 | The middle of the menu where most revenue actually lands |
| Custom photo | $20 to $50 | Charge for the request, not the file |
| Custom video, per minute | $5 to $15 | Per minute pricing protects you from a 20 minute ask at a 2 minute price |
| Top item / anchor | $75 to $100 | Keep it at or under $100 so a new fan can actually send it |
The minimum tip is $3 and the maximum depends on how long the fan has had their account. A fan whose account is less than four months old can send at most $100 in a single tip. Once the account passes four months, the ceiling rises to $200. Some sources also report that paying by card carries a $5 floor while paying from a preloaded OnlyFans wallet balance allows tips as low as $1, so treat $3 as the headline figure rather than a universal one.
| Fan account age | Maximum single tip | What it means for your menu |
|---|---|---|
| Under 4 months | $100 | Every line above $100 is unbuyable for your newest fans |
| 4 months or more | $200 | Your hard ceiling, no matter how long they have subscribed |
| Any age | $3 minimum | Nothing on your menu can be priced under $3 |
The practical fix is not to abandon expensive work. It is to split it. A $300 custom shoot becomes a $100 deposit tip plus two $100 tips on delivery, or it moves off the tip menu entirely and becomes a pay per view message, where the pricing rules are different. If customs are a real part of your income, price them on a proper custom video menu with per minute rates rather than as a single line on your tip menu. What you should not do is leave a number on your menu that quietly fails at checkout and makes the fan feel like they did something wrong.
Three templates, built for different account sizes. Change the prices to match your niche and your time, keep the structure.
Template 1, new account, keep it to six lines. Voice note $5. Rate me $10. Photo set $15. Sexting, 10 minutes $25. Custom photo $35. Custom video, 5 minutes $75.
Template 2, established account, nine lines with a proper ladder. Good morning voice note $8. Rate me, written $15. Shoutout with your name $20. Photo set of 12 $25. Sexting, 15 minutes $40. Video, 8 minutes $50. Custom photo $60. Custom video, 5 minutes $85. Top tier custom, 10 minutes $100.
Template 3, live stream menu, short and loud. Say my name $5. Song request $10. Outfit change $25. Truth or dare $40. Stream goal contribution, any amount $3 and up.
Notice what all three have in common. The cheapest item is genuinely cheap, so the first tip is easy. The steps roughly double rather than creeping, so the ladder is legible. And the top line sits at $100 or below, which is the whole point of the section above.
OnlyFans takes 20% of tips, the same as it takes from subscriptions and pay per view. That is worth doing the arithmetic on, because a tip menu is a volume business and a percentage compounds quietly. HerFans charges a flat 10%, so the comparison below is not neutral, but the numbers are just multiplication and you can check every one.
| Menu item | Fan pays | You keep at 20% | You keep at 10% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voice note | $10 | $8.00 | $9.00 |
| Rate me | $20 | $16.00 | $18.00 |
| Photo set | $25 | $20.00 | $22.50 |
| Custom photo | $50 | $40.00 | $45.00 |
| Top tier custom | $100 | $80.00 | $90.00 |
| 60 tips a month averaging $25 | $1,500 | $1,200 | $1,350 |
Sixty tips a month is roughly two a day, which is an ordinary month for a working creator rather than a fantasy. The gap on that volume is $150 a month, or $1,800 a year, on identical effort and identical prices.
Put it in four places and refresh it on a schedule. Pin it to the top of your feed so it is the first thing a new subscriber sees. Put it in your welcome message, because that is the moment a fan is most willing to spend and least sure what to ask for. Post it in the stream description when you go live. And repost it as a normal feed post every couple of weeks, since a pinned post becomes invisible to people who have already scrolled past it fifty times.
Make it an image as well as text. A readable graphic gets screenshotted and reshared in a way a wall of plain text does not, and it survives being forwarded into a DM.
The first is pricing above the tip cap, covered above. The second is listing things you hate doing. Every item on a menu is a promise, and a menu full of work you resent turns into a menu you quietly stop honoring, which is worse for your reputation than never offering it. The third is never changing it. Prices that were right when you had 200 subscribers are usually low when you have 2,000, and the only way to find your ceiling is to raise the top item and watch what happens. The fourth is burying the cheap entry item. The first tip is the hard one; every tip after it is much easier, so make the $5 line impossible to miss.
One more that is specific to menus rather than pricing generally: do not put a subscription price on your tip menu. Mixing recurring pricing into a list of one off purchases confuses the ask, and the fan defers the whole decision.
A fan under four months old cannot send more than $100 in a single tip on OnlyFans, so the high anchor every menu guide recommends fails at checkout. Price your ladder around the rail you are actually on.
A flat 10% instead of 20% means a $100 custom sends you $90. On sixty tips a month averaging $25, that is $150 more a month for identical work at identical prices.
Five to nine items, a genuinely cheap entry line, steps that roughly double, and a top item you are happy to deliver. Length is not the same as choice.
Add what sold, cut what nobody ordered, and raise the top line until it stops selling. That is the only reliable way to find your ceiling.
