Title: A question about payments for U.S. resident contributors
Post by: max headroom on July 09, 2018, 04:25
I am trying to figure out the cost of transfer and tax in the US.
Of each thousand dollars e.g. you see in your 'total earnings of a month', what could you get after the transfer and does any tax deduction made by Shutterstock.

I get 100%.  Taxes are between me and the IRS; SS is not involved.

Transfer cost, if international: around 2.5% to PayPal, in the form of a bad exchange rate.

Taxes: depends on what country you are from, and what tax treaty you have with the US. It could be 0%, it could be 30%.

Very good, you answered three questions, that he didn't ask, and ignored what he did ask.

0% deducted, no Paypal fees for living in the US.

The right answer
