This is basically in response to a "thank you."

You're welcome. You're is a contraction meaning "You are", so the correct grammar would be You're (You are) welcome. Your is a pronoun that shows possesion.

It's you're welcome.
your=possessive
(eg: "Tom, come get *your* paint kit")
you're= compound abbreviation of you +are
(eg: "Tom, *you're* the best painter ever")
It's a common spelling error, and being on top of this will make your writing (academic, business and ever personal) seem more 'intelligent' and easier to understand.
Hope that helps.

They are all right answers here, but I usually say no problem. I have to be different.

"you're welcome"
Your is possessive. Your sock, your dog, your apple.
You're is a contraction for "you are."

You're welcome is the correct way.

You're welcome is the abbreviation for You Are Welcome, and it would be the correct choice. "Your Welcome" means you own the welcome, like: "Your welcome mat is clean".

You're welcome. That translates to You are welcome.
