    They wont take anything. Steam will take 30% though.

    Unity has subscription model, no additional cost or royalties. If you are an individual and made less than $100K last year out of projects made with Unity, you can use and sell your game made with Personal (free) license. If you made less than $200K last year, then you need a Plus license, if you made more than that, than you will need a Pro license. This is per seat, everyone need a license who works within Unity and only need it if you're actively working on something. If you just make a game and then you just sell that alone and you don't open up Unity anymore, than you don't need a license.
    If you're a legal entity and not an individual, then your entire income counted towards those limits, not just the income made with Unity.

    But you sure need to read the entire EULA! You should understand the rules and limitations before you invest making a game for real. If you don't understand it, contact a lawyer and ask them to explain it to you. It is important.

    This is why people NEED to read the terms and conditions on stuff, and I have it on good authority that nobody ever does, that's why companies tend to get away with stuff they shouldn't.
