Download a copy of the new 2009 -2012 rate charts for the American Federation of Musicians Commercial Announcements Agreement.

An additional note regarding Pension Rates: from June 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011 the Pension Rate is increased to 12.48%; from April 1, 2011 through October 16, 2012 the Pension Rate is increased to 13.08%.

Because of the “Red Zone” issue in regard to the union’s pension plan, the Pension rate increases will apply to any music track in any commercial regardless of which AFM Commercials Agreement the music track was originally produced under….for example, a music track that was produced under the 2004 – 2007 agreement and is currently being used ---the new pension rates will apply to any use payment for that music track.
