A $10,000 payout is not $10,000 of income. Estimate what you keep at your marginal rate — then talk to an accountant.

Prop payouts are taxable income in most countries, and traders routinely forget it until April. This is a deliberately rough estimator: one income figure, one rate, no brackets. Your real bill depends on your country, structure and other income.
Publisher tax tables go stale and get jurisdiction wrong. Your marginal rate already captures your situation better than any preset — check last year's return or ask your accountant. Set money aside per payout, not per year: a steady-paying firm makes quarterly estimates painless. Not tax advice.
