I myself have been throwing around that number as a go-to but did not realize how dated it was.

We gotta keep up with inflation and changes in the world, charge your worth!

*This is an average number, I use it as a basis, it's negotiable dep on project/style/deadline/feelz*
January 13, 2026 at 3:12 PM
The go-to number for a mid tier composer for games is $1000/min of finished music.

Im sure you've heard that for a...while, As far back as 2016!!
www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/budget...

It's been 10 years, with inflation that number is $1367/min

I repeat: $1367 per minute of finished music.
