I'm planning on starting a sole or llc soon, selling stuff online. I was wondering from others that are in the same boat... what percentage do you pay yourself from the extra money you make?

I want to feed it back into the business, but along the future I want to be able to pay myself, just wondering what percentage do most people use to pay themself?
