Where are you from?
Europe/Republic of Kosovo
Ok, well Kosovo doesnât have any tax treaty benefits with the US*, so you donât really need a tax ID. You can just put âI will not or am unable to provide a Tax ID Numberâ.
You can enter a tax number if you like, but youâll still get 30% withheld, so itâs up to you whether you do or not. Youâll get that number from your governmentâs tax office.
*From what I can tell. Kosovo isnât in the list of tax treaty countries, although Kosovo is relatively new from what I can tell. Did it used to be part of Serbia? I see that Serbia isnât on the list either though, so it doesnât look like there is any tax treaty.
"I will not or am unable to provide a Tax ID NumberâŚ
And to send to that email that thwy give us ⌠Thabk you very much . . I was confuseed so i will finish that w8 form âŚ

I just need to know what is 30% when I select âI will not or am unable to provide a Tax ID Numberâ?
ok is it like this? if I sell USD 10 item envato take USD 5 and IRS take 30% from other USD 5?
I think it is like dat ⌠I must finish that w8 today so âŚ
No, the withholding amount is taken from the item price rather than the list price. The list price is how much the buyer pays as shown on the item page⌠the item price is the list price minus the buyer fee. Unless itâs a GraphicRiver item then the buyer fee is 20%. So the 30% would be taken from the $8 rather than the $5 or the $10.
hi, simply, Your net erning = 100%[item sale] - 30% [evanto fee] - 30% [Non US Royalty Withholding Tax]
-> you got 40% Item for US customer purchase. It mean you get 40$ for 100$ on sale now, right ?
How will my earnings as an author be calculated after withholding tax is applied ?
If the sale of a $45 WordPress theme is to a U.S. buyer.
The first thing is that in a $45 WP theme sale, $9 (20%) of that is our Envato Buyer Fee directly to the buyer. So the authorâs Item Price is in fact just the $36.
Step 1: $45 - $9 = $36 is the authorâs Item Price
Next, we apply US Royalty Withholding Tax (RWHT) and send this to the IRS. This changes based on the treaty rate between your country and the USA. Again, using your example, letâs say the authorâs country doesnât have a treaty with the US and the RWHT rate is 30%.
Step 2 (part 1): 30% of $36 = $10.80 to the IRS
The other thing that happens (at virtually the same time as the RWHT is applied) is that we take our Author Fee. This will be based on the kind of author you are (exclusive or non-exclusive) and the amount you have sold on Envato Market. You can see these rates here.
Letâs say for the purposes of this example that the author is an exclusive Elite author with an Author Fee of 12.5%.
Step 2 (part 2): 12.5% of $36 = $4.50 to Envato
These amounts are deducted in sequence from the authorâs earnings of $36:
$36 - $10.80 (to the IRS) = $25.20
$25.20 - $4.50 (author fee to Envato) = $20.70
Therefore the author will have a net earning of $20.70.
Iâve made a little JavaScript function to help you calculate your net earnings, you can run this function using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox consoles, (Here is how to launch consoles)
The function for all marketplaces (except Graphicriver), :
var LP = 45; // List price
var CR = 50; // Commission rate
var WHP = 30; // Withhold percent
var NetEarning = function (LP) {
var NBF = LP * 0.8;
var AF = (80 - CR) / 80;
var NWHP = (100 - WHP) / 100;
return "$" + (Math.round(((NBF * NWHP) - (NBF * AF)) * 100) / 100);
};
NetEarning(LP);
First variable âLPâ is the list price, the second variable âCRâ is your commision rate (50-70 to exclusive authors and 36 to non-exclusive).
The third variable âWHPâ is the tax treaty between the USA and your country (0-30).
For Graphicriver:
var LP = 2; // List price
var CR = 50; // Commission rate
var WHP = 30; // Withhold percent
var BF = 1; // Buyer fee
var NetEarning = function (LP) {
var NBF = LP - BF;
var AF = (80 - CR) / 80;
var NWHP = (100 - WHP) / 100;
return "$" + (Math.round(((NBF * NWHP) - (NBF * AF)) * 100) / 100);
};
NetEarning(LP);
The fourth variable âBFâ is the buyer fee, it varies from category to another, see the buyer fee for each category here.
Thank you for this, and envato must increase the price for US buyers!
