Pricing and fees
One fee. 15%.
Free to join and free to browse. The ReelFamous fee is 15% of the creator’s work when a job is paid.
What the fee applies to
Line items for the work itself: production, editing, scripts, props, usage licenses, exclusivity, rush fees and extra revisions. A discount lowers the amount the fee is charged on.
What it does not apply to
- Sales tax
- Reimbursed expenses, including travel and mileage
- Tips
Worked example
Ten videos, agreed at $2,300, paid in three milestones.
| Milestone | Business pays | ReelFamous fee | Creator receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | $690.00 | $103.50 | $586.50 |
| Production | $920.00 | $138.00 | $782.00 |
| Delivery | $690.00 | $103.50 | $586.50 |
| Total | $2,300.00 | $345.00 | $1,955.00 |
The fee comes out of the agreed price. The business pays $2,300.00, ReelFamous keeps $345.00, and the creator receives $1,955.00. The 30/40/30 schedule is the default; it can be changed in the quote.
With expenses, a tip and tax
The same fee, on the work only.
- Production
- $2,000.00
- Mileage
- $60.00
- Tip
- $100.00
- Sales tax
- $140.00
- Business pays
- $2,300.00
- ReelFamous fee (15% of $2,000.00)
- $300.00
- Creator receives
- $1,860.00
Sales tax is collected on top and passed along, so it is in neither the fee nor the creator’s amount.
Locked at signature
The fee on a contract is fixed when it is signed. A later policy change never touches a signed contract.
Card processing
ReelFamous absorbs card processing costs. They do not come out of the creator’s net.
Refunds
A refund unwinds the fee in proportion, so ReelFamous does not keep a fee on money that goes back.
The full wording is in the fee schedule.
