Looking at Patron he gets about Canadian $209,624 (Which is the 2nd highest 46.62% tax bracket) with other stuff he's doing he may be at the highest at 50.40%. Patreon/Fees is about 8% on top of that. So it can be easily seen that he takes less than half of what you see on the Patreon page. So 100K Canadian annually across two people. That being said I think he's changed to a corporate tax this year which should be lower.
Yeah I think he's gotten better at assembling so new cells have less bugs.

incorrect? If he's pulling in $209,624 as income from Patreon (completely ignoring any deductions or exemptions) wouldn't that amount to ~$48,268.55 in tax owed. Pull another $16,769.92 off for the 8% Patreon fees and that's $65,038.47 not going to his pocket. Winds up being ~$144,585.53 take-home, if I'm not missing other taxes or fees from elsewhere. Turns that $15,974 a month into something closer to $12,048 a month. That said, I can see there not being much, if any, breathing room for a full time dev. Maybe a few contract engagements, but nothing full time. This would all be made more complicated trying to negotiate it through a business since the product is essentially IP theft.
Random ramble but I'm curious if there are other taxes and fees that make up the difference between what I spotted and the claimed half taxed/fee'd.
