Producer's Fee A freelance record producer will initially charge a flat rate for the production of an album. For a new producer this flat rate will be between £1,000 and £4,000 per track, whereas a more established producer may charge up to £10,000. If they are a 'superstar' producer it can be up to £35,000. They can then claim a royaltiy rate of between 3% and 6% of the PPD on top of this (the rate depends upon the industry status of the producer).
Initially this will be paid as an advance of £1500 to £5000, although a top producer will want considerably more. The producer will begin earning royalties once this advance is recouped. When a flat rate is charged the producer will include all of the recording and production costs that he has calculated in the fee. This is known as a Recording Costs Inclusive fee, and is often used by producers with their own studio and equipment, as they will get to keep the studio fee for themselves. The disadvantage of this type of deal is that the producer's royalties may not be paid until the record company's advance has been recouped. So the producer could be waiting a great deal of time before he can claim any royalties. The alternative to this is a Paid From Record One deal. This means that the producer will get paid royalties as soon as his own, much smaller, advance has been recouped. He will then often start earning royalties before the musicians do. If the producer works in-house at a record label then they are often paid a salary which ranges up to £30,000 and above. A top producer's salary can even run into six figures.

That depends on the artist's recording contract, their record label, and arrangements made with the producer. A "staff producer" working for a label or studio may receive no points; an independent producer may earn as much as a recording artist.
The income of a record producer varies quite widely. A starting producer may only make a yearly salary of about $20,000 while a famous producer may make up to $1 million or more.
