YouTube Agency Commission Calculation Formula

The net sponsorship payout is calculated by subtracting the agency commission percentage and flat retainer, payment processing fees, and taxes from the gross deal value, then subtracting any additional expenses.

Agency Commission = Gross Deal Value * (Agency Commission % / 100)
Remaining After Agency = Gross Deal Value - Agency Commission - Flat Agency Retainer
Platform Fee = Remaining After Agency * (Platform Fee % / 100)
Taxable Income = Remaining After Agency - Platform Fee - Additional Expenses
Estimated Tax = Taxable Income * (Tax Rate % / 100)
Net Creator Payout = Taxable Income - Estimated Tax

Taxes are computed on the net profit (revenue minus business expenses) to simulate realistic freelance tax accounting.
