The penalty is 10% of the total. You will also have to pay income tax on the full amount on top of this penalty.

If you are under age 59. 5 or do not meet an exception, you will be assessed a 10% penalty on your distribution amount, in addition to paying income tax on the distribution. Exceptions include death, disability, large medical expenses, qualified education expenses, or the purchase of a first home.

You will be assesed a ten percent penalty for a withdrawal. You will also be charged ten percent for taxes. So taotal you are looking at twenty percent deduction for whatever you want to withdrawal.

The penalty for an early withdrawl, assuming you do not meet the IRS exceptions, is 10%. Income tax will also need to be paid on the amount withdrawn.
