And then we also pay 30% in taxes 🥰 leaving us with 50% of the initial base rate

Guys it is in our contracts 😭 please read everything or try to have someone read it over with you. I wish it wasn’t this way 😫 but it’s been this way for a while and many of us have been talking about it and wondering if we can change that

Rissy :
Just FYI the 20%talent fee is taken from the base rate. The 20% agency fee is added on top of the base rate. It legally has to state on your contracts/invoices that the agency fee is an additional 20%. If you see that you agency has taken 40% from the base rate. You are well within your right to sue… but if it’s PLUS 20% agency fee the agency is allowed to do that. The fees are separate. One relationship with the talent, another relationship from the brand

The Model Gene :
Many agencies rely on the power dynamic that they are important and the model is lucky to get a contract with them, so they do not feel the need to educate the model about the industry.

And the clients literally think they’re paying our agent fee bc a HUGE client confirmed this to me— so our agents are stealing.
