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 keeps 45% of ad money, and taxes will take even more. It’s good to ask a tax expert for help.
 
You must know that the YouTube does not take out taxes directly. It withholds up to 30% of earnings from non-U.S. creators if they do not submit tax info. U.S. creators handle their own taxes. The exact amount depends on location, tax treaties, and the creator’s tax status.
 
Friends YouTube doesn’t deduct taxes directly, but U.S. creators face up to 24% withholding if tax info isn’t provided. International creators may face up to 30% withholding on U.S. earnings.
