Default How much profit goes to the developer?

I'm just wondering, how much of a cut does the developer get per sale, and how much does Apple get? Also, how much gets taken in tax?

Apple: 30%, developer: 70%.

I don't know about taxes.

Don't you need to pay like $90 to become a developer or something?
And then after that Apple takes 30% of your earnings.

From USD revenues Apple takes 30% and a developer gets 70%.
From EURO revenues a developer gets a bit less, EURO prices do not convert directly (according to exchange rates), some deductions seem to occur.

Apple takes it's 30% from REVENUE.

PROFIT is only achieved when you break even (revenue equals costs) so will vary by app.
