What does Agent Fee Included mean?
Agent Fee Included is a term used in talent contracts to indicate that the agent’s fee is built into the overall payment amount, rather than being an additional expense for the client or production company. This means the talent’s compensation already accounts for the percentage that will go to the agent, typically 10-20%. Related terms include Agency Fee, which is the percentage charged by the agent, and Commission, which refers to the earnings the agent receives from the client’s work.
Example:The contract specified that the agent fee was included, meaning the production company wouldn’t have to pay extra beyond the agreed talent fee.
Example: Many talent contracts clearly state whether the agent fee is included or if it will be deducted separately from the talent’s earnings.
