Worked example

150 members at $4.99 is $748.50 and Super Chat adds $200.00, so viewers pay $948.50. With 8% sales tax and 30% of purchases on iOS at a 30% store fee, tax and store fees take $161.25 first. YouTube's 30% of the remainder is $236.18, and you receive $551.08: $434.88 from memberships and $116.20 from Super Chat.

How it works

YouTube's Super Chat help page says creators receive 70% of Supers revenue confirmed by Google, calculated after local sales tax and App Store fees on iOS are deducted, and that transaction costs, including credit card fees, are currently covered by YouTube. The memberships help page says creators get 70% of membership revenue after applicable taxes and fees are deducted, with transaction costs also currently covered by YouTube.

Neither page gives a tax rate or a store fee rate, so those are yours to enter. This tool subtracts them from what viewers paid, then takes 70% of the rest. Real statements can differ by country, platform and any network deal, so check YouTube Studio.

FAQ

How much does YouTube take from Super Chat?

YouTube's help page says creators receive 70% of Supers revenue after local sales tax and App Store fees on iOS are deducted, so YouTube keeps 30% of the amount that remains.

Is the membership split the same as Super Chat?

The memberships help page also says creators get 70% of membership revenue after applicable taxes and fees are deducted. The deductions can differ by country and by the platform the member used.

Does YouTube charge a card processing fee on top?

The help pages say YouTube currently covers transaction costs, including credit card fees, so no separate processing line is modelled.

Why do I have to type the tax and store fee?

The pages do not publish a rate for either. Use your own tax situation and the store's current rate, or set the iOS share to 0 to see the 70% on its own.
