YouTube keeps 30% of channel memberships, Super Thanks, Super Chat and Super Stickers — you get 70%. On iOS, Apple's App Store fee is taken first, so your effective share is lower (drop the % above to model it). On web, YouTube currently covers card processing. Estimate only.

How YouTube memberships & Super Thanks pay (2026)

All of YouTube's fan-funding features share the same 70/30 split — you keep 70%, YouTube keeps 30%:

FeatureWhat it isYou keep
Channel memberships$4.99–$49.99/mo recurring perks70%
Super ThanksTips on uploaded videos70%
Super Chat / StickersHighlighted messages in live chat70%

The catch: on iOS, Apple takes an App Store cut before YouTube's split, so a purchase made in the iPhone app nets you noticeably less than the same purchase on the web. Encourage web/Android purchases where you can.

Rates as of 2026; verify in YouTube Studio. Excludes ad revenue (see the YouTube Money Calculator).

Frequently asked questions

How much does YouTube take from memberships?

30% — you keep 70%. The same split applies to Super Thanks, Super Chat and Super Stickers.

Why did I get less than 70%?

The purchase was likely made on iOS, where Apple's App Store fee comes out first, reducing your effective share. The same support bought on the web keeps more in your pocket.

Is this the same as ad revenue?

No — ads use a separate 55/45 split. This calculator covers fan funding (memberships and Supers). Use the YouTube Money Calculator for ad RPM.
