PayoutTax

Creator program

Updated October 27, 2026

Make videos, streams or posts for funded traders? Your audience gets paid with nothing withheld, and most of them don't know what to set aside until a tax bill arrives. Share PayoutTax and earn $9 for every trader who subscribes through your link.

How it works

  1. Apply below and agree to the terms. It takes a minute.
  2. We approve you (usually within a few days) and email your link: payouttax.com/r/yourcode, short enough to say out loud in a video.
  3. Share it. Viewers get the free calculator with no sign-up and a 3-day free trial.
  4. Get paid monthly: $9 for each trader who pays for their first year ($19), paid on the 15th once their payment is 30 days old. For example, a trader who pays on November 10 is paid out to you on December 15.
  5. Track it yourself: sign in at payouttax.com with the email you applied with to see your link, referrals and earnings.

Creator Program Terms

Version 2026-10-27. This is an agreement between you and PayoutTax. You accept it by checking the box in the application and submitting it; we record the version and the time, and email you a confirmation.

1. What you earn

You earn $9 when a trader you referred makes their first paid subscription payment. A trader counts as yours when they arrive through your link (payouttax.com/r/yourcode) and subscribe within 60 days on the same browser. The first creator link a visitor used wins. Renewals, free trials and the free calculator don't earn commissions. We decide attribution from our own records.

2. When and how you're paid

A commission becomes payable 30 days after the trader's payment. We pay monthly, on the 15th, everything payable by then, by PayPal to the email you gave us or another method we agree on. You can see your referrals, pending commissions and payouts any time by signing in.

3. Refunds and chargebacks

If a referred trader's payment is refunded or disputed (a chargeback) before we pay you, that commission is cancelled. If it happens after we've paid you, the $9 is taken out of your next payout. If we win the dispute, the commission is restored. If you leave the program with a balance still owed back to us, we won't ask you to repay it unless the referral was fraudulent.

4. Your promises

5. Taxes

You're an independent contractor, and your commissions are your income to report. If we pay you $2,000 or more in a calendar year, we'll ask for a Form W-9 and send you a Form 1099-NEC. We collect the W-9 privately by email, never through the website.

6. Ending or pausing

You or we can end your participation at any time by email. We may pause or end a link if these terms are broken. Valid commissions you earned before then are still paid on the next payout date, unless they came from fraud or a broken term.

7. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change affects what or when you're paid, we'll email you at least 14 days before it applies. Commissions already earned are paid under the terms in place when they were earned.

8. The rest

This doesn't make you our employee, partner or agent, and it isn't exclusive. Commissions are the only payment for your participation. The PayoutTax Terms of Service also apply, including governing law (Illinois) and how disputes are handled.
