How much does youtube take out for taxes?

YouTube doesn't take taxes from your earnings, but you have to pay them.

  • In the U.S.: You pay federal taxes (10-37%) and self-employment taxes (15.3%). Some states take their taxes too.
  • Outside the U.S.: YouTube usually takes 24% unless there’s a tax deal with your country.

YouTube doesn’t directly deduct taxes, but non-U.S. creators may have up to 30% withheld from U.S. earnings, or 24% of total earnings without tax info.

Proper tax filing and understanding treaties can help minimize withholdings.
