REMA recommendations on hourly rates for event professionals in 2025
The initiative aims to establish unified operational standards for event agencies, helping to increase transparency and maintain a balance of interests between the client and the agency. The rates are based on data provided by the agencies that are members of the association.
The map is divided into several blocks based on areas of work:
1. Creative work.
2. Client relations.
3. Project execution.
2. Client relations.
3. Project execution.
Hourly rates include:
- net salary (take-home pay);
- personal income tax and social security/insurance contributions on the salary;
- number of hours spent by a specialist on non-project activities, including vacation, sick leave, and training;
- number of hours spent by a specialist participating in tenders;
- agency profit generated from the specialist’s activities.
Hourly staff rates are calculated based on data regarding the monthly income of employees at companies that are members of REMA, as well as coefficients that account for the agency’s costs in maintaining key event professionals.
REMA publishes the results of a study on the actual hourly cost of an event professional in 2025.
