What Percentage Do They Make? The most common, or easiest gauging point for management percentage, at least in North America, is 15 to 20% of gross artist revenue.

Managers' commissions are typically between 15 to 20% of an artist's gross income. Whether it's 15% or 20% really depends on the level of the band and the bargaining power of each party. I've seen some net deals, but they are extremely rare. That being said, I always push for a net commission on merchandise.
