How Dues Are Calculated for Presenters, Artist Managers and Agents For Presenters: The Presenters dues scale uses dues bands based
upon Total Expense Budgets. Dues will begin at a flat $300 for organizations
with Total Expense Budgets of less than $100,000. As the Total Expense Budget
amount increases above $100,000, presenters' dues are calculated based upon
the percentage of the expense budget spent on artist fees. The higher the
percentage within that expense budget band, the lower the dues.
For example:
Mid-Atlantic University Presenter
Total Expense Budget: $1,000,000
Percentage of expenses spent on Artist Fees: 65%
Proposed Dues: $950
If the percentage of expenses spent on Artist Fees was 90%:
Proposed Dues: $850
For Artist, Managers & Agents: Dues are based on total
commissions from touring, producing or commissioning. How you calculate
this number is slightly different for managers and agents than it is from
artists/producers. While managers and agents will simply take whatever their
Commissions are (typically 15-20% of the revenue generated by their artists),
artists themselves will base their dues upon 20% of their Total Touring
Revenue.
For example:
Artist Management Agency, Inc.*
Total Revenue: $1,000,000
Total Commissions: $200,000
Proposed Dues: $1,050
Big Bottle Dance Company*
Total Touring Revenue: $500,000
Total Commissions from touring, producing or commissioning: Take 20% of Total Touring Revenue - $100,000
Proposed Dues: $775
