How Much Do Chaturbate Models Make?

You can definitely make a lot of money with Chaturbate if you put in the time and effort. How much a Chaturbate model earns will solely depend on how much time she spends camming, the amount of viewers she gets every show, and the kind of viewers she gets.

It’s difficult to pinpoint how much exactly all cam girls make on average. However, live broadcasts allow the top cam girls in this business to earn a fat load of stacks. In fact, sources say that the top 50 highest paid cam girls earn more than $20.000 a month. Some of these Chaturbate models in the top 50 get a few hundred tip/token donations per month, while others [in the top 50] get thousands of donations. This shows you that not every donation is the same. Some Chaturbate models have rich admirers who donate thousands of tokens every time, while other models have a lot more admirers who simply donate fewer tokens per donation.

In the end, it’s a numbers game. The more viewers you get, the higher the chances of getting more tips from viewers. However, seeing that hundreds of Chaturbate models get paid close to (or more than) $10.000 a month, it’s very realistic to make camming on Chaturbate your full-time job. Of course, these numbers don’t take into account the extra money Chaturbate models make from selling clips/pictures on Chaturbate (And OnlyFans).

How Much Can Chaturbate Models Make Per Day?

Some people simply want to see what they can earn per day, and we understand that. However, keep in mind that Chaturbate models make a lot less money on days that they don’t stream. Therefore, the question should really be: “How much money can a Chaturbate model make per camshow day?”

Seeing that the top 50 Chaturbate models make over $1000 per day, this is not unrealistic at all. These 50 models had to start somewhere, and worked their way up to the top, taking their job very seriously. However, comparing yourself to the best in a certain business might not be a wise thing to do. If we look beyond those 50 models and look at, say, the top 200-300 Chaturbate models, we still see an average income of $500-$1000 a day. Not too bad for a full-time job.

Of course, as we mentioned before, it all depends on the amount of viewers and the kind of viewers you get. Do they tip a lot of tokens or not? While performing a camshow, you don’t actually see the amount of money that comes in. Instead, you will see tips in the form of tokens. At first, you probably have no idea how much 1 token is worth.

How does Chaturbate pay?

Chaturbate has a string of options that bring safe and convenient payment methods. Some of them include Paxum, ePayService, Bitcoin, Skrill and CosmoPayment. If online methods aren’t your thing, you can even get paid by wire transfer or check by mail. Residents of the United States can get paid via Direct Deposit as well.

In Chaturbate, you have to deal with two payment periods or cycles. The first cycle lasts from 1st to 15th of each month, and the second cycle goes from 16th to 31st. Chaturbate sends you the payments within 7 days after the ending of each cycle.

That means whatever you’ve earned between 1st-15th will be sent within 7 days of the cycle’s end. So basically, you can expect your payment before the 22nd of that month. Paxum users should be able to get their payments before or by the 22nd. If you have chosen a check as your form of payment, it will be mailed to you before or by the 22nd. The check will arrive via FedEx or Usps, so you’ll obviously have to factor in the wait time.

Similarly, Chaturbate will add anything you earn during the 16th-31st to the 2nd pay cycle of the month. These earnings will be sent within 7 days of the cycle’s end, meaning by the 7th of next month. Paxum users will also get their payment before or by the 7th of the next month. If you have chosen to be paid by check, they will send it to you before or by the 7th. However, it might take some more time for the check to reach you physically.

If you have not earned the minimum amount required for a payout, do not worry. The leftover balance will be added into the next payment cycle.

Do you have to pay for Chaturbate?

With Chaturbate, you don’t have to pay to sign up and start accessing cams. However, you do have to pay to get into the VIP shows available. You can simply purchase or earn tokens to pay for any private shows that you want to watch.

Using this virtual payment system does come with some added perks. How it works is that each camgirl can go the extra mile in their performance for token tips. These tips are usually paid when you want the camgirl to do something special. This way, the girls make good money just by entertaining people online. Chaturbate keeps a share of the tokens received, but it’s a small price to pay considering what you earn.

Since Chaturbate models are in a very different business than Twitch streamers or YouTubers, this is their way of making money. Where Twitch streamers can live off ad money and subscribers, Chaturbate models make money from tokens and selling content. However, just like Twitch, it’s 100% free to join a stream and start watching.

Do you have to pay taxes on Chaturbate?

The answer is YES. Of course, you have to pay taxes on whatever you earn on Chaturbate. If you live in the U.S, any income above $400 needs to be filed without fail.

Being a camgirl for any website makes you an ‘independant contractor’. At this point, the government will send you a 1099 form listing all your taxable incomes and earnings. However, if you are not an American citizen, you will have to report your earnings without using the form.

Check out our post about Camsoda Payments where we explain in more detail how to file taxes as a U.S. citizen.

Should you use your real address for payments on Chaturbate?

It goes without saying that your payment details should be completely accurate and true. Obviously, it is possible to use a different address for payments, but we wouldn’t advise doing that. To avoid any mishaps with your money, entering all the details and addresses correctly is always safe.

Can a Chaturbate model get banned for asking for offline payments?

When it comes to Chaturbate, we advise you not to ask users to wire money directly to you. Chaturbate offers you a platform to utilize and earn money through, don’t take that for granted. So always take money through the website to avoid any complications.

If you want to do Skype shows, you definitely can; no one is stopping you. However, you will have to get tipped in Chaturbate tokens before you can start using Skype.

How long does it take for Chaturbate to pay you?

All payments are sent within 7 days from the end of each pay cycle. So technically, the payment period starts on the 1st and 16th of each month. Chaturbate will notify you via mail about any payouts pending or made to your account. Make sure you have your main email account linked to your Chaturbate account to see the notification emails when they are sent out.

That being said, let us look at some of the payment methods in detail and see how they function.

Payment by Daily Payout

Chaturbate offers you the option to collect payouts daily. This option allows camgirls to convert tokens into cash at the end of each day. These daily payouts are processed every morning at 1:00 am MST from Monday through Friday. Note that 1-3 days processing time is common when receiving payouts. After all, even Chaturbate employees need the weekends off.

Payment by Direct Deposit

Chaturbate sends you your earnings within 7 days of a pay cycle’s end in the direct deposit option. Under any normal circumstance, your bank will need about 2-7 days to process the payment. However, you will receive the amount straight into your account, so there’s no hassle at all.

Payment by Check

If you have opted for the payment via check method, then you are in for a lot of waiting. Chaturbate sends you the payment via check within 7 days of each pay cycle end. However, how long it takes for the check to reach you varies from region to region.

If you are a United States citizen, your check should arrive within 2-7 business days. However, If you are a resident of Canada, it will probably take around 7-10 business days. As for international cam models, you will have to wait the longest. In this case, the check could take anywhere between 2–6 weeks to reach you.

Payment by Paxum, CosmoPayment, ePayments or Bitcoin

Payments for Paxum, ePayments, CosmoPayment or Bitcoin are sent within 7 days of each pay cycle end. The advantage you have here is that the money will reflect in your account on the same day it is sent.

However, there might be instances when a payment is late or hasn’t arrived. Let us take a look at why that might be.

Common reasons you haven’t received a payout

Make sure that you have crossed the minimum payout amount. It is not uncommon for broadcasters to forget about the minimum payout amount. Some broadcasters have waited for payments without realising that Chaturbate never sent the payment. Why? Because they haven’t reached the minimum amount yet.

Another reason could be that you haven’t converted or converted tokens for the next pay period. If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry, as you will receive the payment in the next cycle. Thankfully, converted tokens never expire and gets added into the next cycle.

Sometimes USPS is unable to deliver the check to your address. In this case, they return the check to USPS, who then asks you to provide a new address. You can wait to see if the check arrives, or you can simply provide a new address. Some residents of the U.S might face problems when it comes to checks. If that’s the case for you, we suggest switching to Direct Deposit.

What happens if my payment fails?

Your payment failed to reach you? Now that’s a scary thought, isn’t it? But don’t worry, we always have a solution for you.

If any payment from Chaturbate fails for some reason, all the funds will simply go back into your Chaturbate account. However, we advise updating your payment information to avoid any more complications. Once you do that, you can opt for a daily payout for the returned amount at the bottom of this page.

How much are Chaturbate tokens worth in pay?

Chaturbate tokens come in different values priced as a result of various factors. To simplify, Chaturbate uses two different systems to ascertain the valuation of each token.

The valuation is different for viewers and tippers who buy the tokens from the site. In this case, the price ranges from $10.99 to $7.99 per one hundred tokens. This depends precisely on the exact amount of tokens they purchase at one go.

As for the cam girls, the valuation is more complicated. You see, Chaturbate takes 40 to 50 % of the value, depending on the number of tokens purchased by the viewers. This amount taken is paid to camgirls at a value of $5 per hundred tokens. To better understand how it works, take a look at the charts below.

For token buyers

• 100 tokens for $10.99
• 200 tokens for $20.99
• 500 tokens for $44.99
• 750 tokens for $62.99
• 1000 tokens for $79.99

You might want to note that Chaturbate already takes its share when you buy any amount of tokens. Chaturbate takes their share during the time of token purchases, not tips. So that means the number of tokens that pop up in your account is completely your own share.

For token earners

If you are a model or camgirl, you will get a valuation of $5 on 100 tokens. The amount might change for token buyers, but it is mostly fixed for broadcasters. All in all, models in Chaturbate get paid fifty to sixty percent of token purchases. Take a look at the chart below to learn more:

• 20 tokens = $1;
• 100 tokens = $5;
• 500 tokens = $25;
• 1000 tokens = $50;
• 10000 tokens = $500;
• 1 token is worth 5 cents.

Do you have to pay to be a moderator on Chaturbate?

The life of a moderator is always filled with entertainment, and it’s no different in the case of Chaturbate. Moderating a chat room filled with hundreds of people online can be a thrilling task. But how does one become a moderator in the first place?

Well, in this area, the camgirls have all the power. We aren’t kidding, Chaturbate broadcasters have the power to grant you the status of a moderator. On the other hand, they can easily withdraw your moderator privileges as well. So, if you really want to become a moderator on Chaturbate, we suggest you play extra nice with the camgirls. Always be kind and spread positivity to the camgirls, and one day, it might pay off.

That being said, some techniques have proven to win moderator privilege for some users.

1. Always be nice to the broadcasters. Be sure to tip as much as you can.
2. If you see any user insulting or being mean to the broadcaster, don’t just sit back and watch. A moderators job is to keep things civil and positive. So be sure to defend any camgirl from being insulted or attacked. Be her ‘White Knight’, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a moderator.
3. You could always directly and simply ask the broadcaster to make you a moderator. If you’re attempting this move, then we really do hope you’ve tipped her enough. No broadcaster will take this request seriously if you haven’t tipped generously.

To conclude, you don’t have to officially pay to become a Chaturbate moderator. However, models do expect you to dole out a lot of tips!

Do moderators get paid on Chaturbate?

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could get paid for moderating chat rooms? We bet that would be a dream job for many of you. But unfortunately, moderating is only seen as volunteer work. Since it’s done as a favor to the broadcasters, there is no official involved.

If you want to be a moderator on Chaturbate, we advise you put some serious thought into it. It can be risky as hell if you do it the wrong way. Many broadcasters will kick you out for requesting to become a mod. What’s more, many of the broadcasters already have mods of their own and therefore don’t want any more. So it can definitely be risky to make that request.
