It all depends on whether or not you're an unpublished writer. If you're new, the agents/production companies will jack you around a little. Most likely it will be anywhere around $25,000 to $50,000 for your first. However, if it's really good, it could be over $100,000. It just varies.

The price of a screenplay can vary widely based on factors such as the writer's experience, the potential commercial value of the script, and the negotiations between the writer and the buyer. Screenplays can sell for anywhere from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars for high-profile projects.

You would roughly get paid around £50,000 a year. Only depending on how popular the film/show is. Usually, you would start off with £30,000 and work your way up.
