I have always wondered about this. Lets take a girl who is not contracted to a studio and gets paid on a scene-by-scene basis, like Bonnie before AVN awrds etc... How much would she get for a normal b/g scene. Then after female performer of the year her stock would rise, how much more would she get. Also are there set rates for gangbangs, anal, rim jobs etc... I would really appreciate some clarity on this. Thank you porn pool

My rate for a b/g scene was $1,100 and for anal b/g it was $1,600 (I think for g/g anal my rate was $800+). The talent chooses their rates. If they want more work then they might have a lower rate. Big name stars will most likely charge more as well.

Thank you for your reply Miss Danielle Delauney, judging from your avatar I think you should have charged way more. Do you know if female talent are taxed on there income from performing?

What is the average difference between a standard b/g scene and g/g scene.

Thanks Danielle , I had been wanting to ask this question about how performers make a living earnings wise ( love you work , btw, your really stunning , All Things Anal was a mindblowing scene) . Danielle's rates for b/g are between $1100-$1600 depending on the act . Take a well know top name star , Riley Reid for example . Riley did around 90 shoots acording to iafd in 2013 , lets say the same number of websites . 190 shoots at her average rate would be ballpark $250,000 ! Impressive , but most performers probably don't work as much or earn as much . Add in the cost of housing , car , travel , health insurance (?) and the same bills as the rest of us , good , but not enough to retire on . And then there's uncle sam , he's gotta get his share in taxes , no ?
What other income can be made ? There's custom vidoes and clothing from the personal vids , that was a good biz for many back in the vhs days of the late 80's-90's . Still popular ? What about doing your own shoots for your own site , Lily Cade does that(she posts here often) .Being a headliner at a strip club was big also back then , not as big now ? Escorting ? Not everone makes Charlie Sheen godess money , whats the going rate ? A recent salon.com article mentioned $3500 an hour for top names , but how often is that ? ( I know Tara Reid and Lindsey Lohan are available by the weekend or more , supoosedly LL starts at $250,000).
There are several women now directing as well , Belladonna most notably . What does she make , salary and a % of sales ? Joanna Angel owns her own company , Burning Angel seems very lucrative . Just wondering what can be made , then you hear horror stories about girls who made $4-500 for a dificult facial abuse shoot .

^
How do you mean 'expenses for travelling stuff'? Either you're in L.A. and get to shoot there, or you're not (OK, you could also be in SF, Las Vegas or Florida, but that's basically it). No company will pay flying you out from your hometown to L.A. or to Florida or whatever. And pricey on-location-shoots (as in normal features) are simply not regularly scheduled, except for perhaps some tropical getaway or whatever, but you don't see them very often. Perhaps something different with contract stars, though.
Studios don't even pay for testing and such (you probably can declare this as working expenses in your tax returns – btw. I’m sure they are taxed, as I reckon work is like freelance work, so your employer doesn't do everything for you, he might hand you over the gross price, but giving uncle sam his due is then up to you – or you'll get a friendly visit by the IRS.

Most girls wouldn't be "contract" girls I imagine . As for traveling , I know that most of the porn is made in the San Fernando Valley , if you don't live close by there' gas , toll , food , and what if you have to stay somewhere overnight ? Just interested in the nuts and bolts so to speak >

I think the reason that none of the stars are replying in this thread is that they are probably embarrassed at how little they earn for shooting a scene. One girl that I personally know makes more money escorting once a week than she makes for shooting an anal scene.

Sandra romain and alicia romain are now escorting in europe !! The reason is they earn the same amount of euros or more as when they were pornstars !!
Most of the time the guy doesnt last long like the porn stud does !! They found escorting a far easier way to make big money !! Pussies and assholes less sored !! lol
Most of the top euro pornstars are escorting !! Donna bell , angelica heart , except aletta , jasmine black , melanie gold , sharon lee etc
That was the euro part , current situation !! Euro girls like to fuck , yes , but most importantly they like money , we all do it !! Its like this !! We cant blame them , The economy is not doing well in europe as france has not been able to follow germany growth !! im not an economist , but we all know its all about these 2 countries !!
Is it fair that a girl who has worked with a big dick get paid the same salary as with a girl who worked with a small dick ?? hmm
Girl A has worked with xander corvus , hardcore stud big dick then Girl B worked with a guy like seth gamble - pencil dick , both girls get paid 1100$ !! Is that a reality ?? Maybe im wrong , i dont know !! It depends with whom your are working ??
Is it fair towards Girl A ?
To conclude I would like to say as a contract girl nicole aniston has now done 6 scenes with chad white !! Really girl , u are the real diva of porn !!
Because some girls are really working hard to earn a scene , and miss nicole aniston well she can do whatever she wants !!

Yep, for a lot of girls porn is just a commercial for their escorting.

If you're smart you save a percentage from each check and put it towards taxes. I've always done that. I can't speak for other people in the industry though. Taxes aren't taken out automatically (since we aren't employees...we're considered independent contractors).

Most companies will fly you out to shoot with them. Kink flew me out to SF. Brazzers flew me out to Vegas....you get the idea.
