Producer Agreement

A Producer will most likely earn a salary ranging between 72000 to 108000 based on education and experience. Producers can expect a pay level of Ninety One Thousand One Hundred dollars per year. Producers can make the most money in California, where they get job pay of close to $120530.

All royalties paid to producers or anyone else will be deducted from the artist's 15% royalties.Some producers, namely producers of tracks who compose the music, are entitled to 50% ownership of the song, and thus, 50% of the mechanical royalties also referred to as the publishing rights to the song.

Usually, a producer makes 3% to 5% (20% to 25%) of the artists share of a master recording. This number could be a bit higher if the producer is influential and has a brand of their own.

If you are a newer producer without too much of a reputation, you can expect from $0 to $3,500 per song. If you are considered a mid-level producer, your range increased to $3,500 to $7,000 per song. Finally, if your name carries weight in the music industry, you can receive up to $10,000 to $15,000 per song.
