WGA Minimums

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) sets minimum rates for writers in film and television. These rates, known as the “Schedule of Minimums,” act as a baseline for compensation. The minimums vary based on factors like the type of project (e.g., theatrical film vs. television show), the length of the project, and the writer’s specific duties.

The WGA negotiates these minimums with production studios and companies to ensure that writers receive fair compensation for their work. The actual rates are detailed in the WGA’s collective bargaining agreement.

As the exact minimum rates change periodically and based on new contract negotiations between the WGA and production entities, it’s essential to refer to the latest version of the WGA’s collective bargaining agreement or the WGA’s official website for the most up-to-date information.
