Assumptions & Limitations

Platform fees: Default fees are industry averages. Actual fees may vary based on your contract, partner level, revenue source (ads vs subs vs tips), and payment method.

Federal tax: Uses 2024 IRS ordinary income brackets. Tax is calculated incrementally based on how your creator income stacks on top of other income.

State tax: Uses simplified marginal rates. Most states have progressive brackets similar to federal taxes.

Not included: Self-employment tax (15.3%), local/city taxes, AMT, NIIT, quarterly estimated payments, business deductions, retirement contributions, or health insurance deductions.

This is an estimate for educational purposes only and is not tax advice. Actual taxes may be higher due to self-employment tax and other factors.
