Current SAG Rate: What is SAG-AFTRA Scale Pay?
The SAG rate/minimum pay is determined by which Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is
applicable for your production. The main factors determining the applicable CBA are the place
of a primary exhibition and the budget size, although it’s always best to speak with a SAG
representative if you’re uncertain about your specific project. The most common SAG-AFTRA
agreements include:
- SAG-AFTRA Theatrical (separated into Basic Theatrical, Low Budget, Modified Low
Budget, Ultra Low Budget, Short Film, Student Short Film) - SAG-AFTRA Television
- SAG-AFTRA New Media
- SAG-AFTRA Commercial
- SAG-AFTRA Corporate/Educational/Non-Broadcast Recording
- SAG-AFTRA Interactive/Video Game
The minimum scale for SAG performers depends on which of these agreements applies, but can
also vary depending on agreement sub-type, production category, or other factors. While not
