How much does royalty collection cost?
Because Screenrights is a non-profit organisation. We cover administrative overheads by deducting a fee from the money collected., The overheads vary between royalty types and from year to year. However, as a rough guide, for 2010 our overall administration fee was 14.2%. More information on our administration fees can be found in our Annual Report.
All money we collect is distributed to members after the deduction of administrative overheads only. These overheads vary from service to service and from year to year, however as a rough guide, for 2010 our overall ratio of administrative expenses to total collections was 14.2%. More information on expenses to collections ratios for each service can be found in our Annual Report.
Rightsholders should note that if they appoint an agent to collect Screenrights royalties on their behalf, the agent may also charge an administrative or agent's fee on top of Screenrights costs.
