How much tax withholding is a good idea to keep for a small personal business on the side?

Does 15% sound about right?

You should make sure you are not required to make quarterly estimated tax payments.

It's off the ad revenue from my website.

You will owe self employment tax (~15%) and regular tax (your individual tax rate) on the profit (revenue - expenses).

I don't know if I'm wording this right.

Does placing 3rd party ads on your website constitute small business, or is it just taxed as additional income, like having a 2nd job...
