What does Agency Fee mean?
Agency Fee refers to the percentage of an actor’s or model’s earnings that is paid to their talent agency. This fee typically ranges from 10% to 20% of the actor’s salary or modeling job payment. The agency fee is a standard practice in the entertainment industry and is meant to cover the services provided by the agency, including finding work, contract negotiation, and administrative support.
Example:An actor who earns $1,000 for a commercial pays their talent agency a 10% agency fee, meaning the agency receives $100.
Example: A model’s agency charges a 15% agency fee on all jobs, which is deducted from the model’s total earnings for each booking.
