Tariffs

  • How do I know which GEMA tariff is the right one?

    Your GEMA tariff depends on several factors: for example, the type of music use (e.g. live event, background music, online streaming), the size of the event or venue, the turnover generated or the scope of the event, or the duration and frequency of music use.

    There are two ways to determine your tariff:

    1. Either use the GEMA price calculator
    2. or visit our ‘Tariff Overview’ page. In the left-hand column, you will find the type of music use – on the right, you can then select the specific category. Once you have selected the category, you can download the relevant questionnaire. By providing the details in the questionnaire, you will be assigned the correct tariff.
  • Why can I not report uses under certain tariffs via the Online Portal?

    The Online Portal is constantly being developed further and not all tariffs could be displayed yet. Please use our forms for tariffs which are not shown in the portal yet.

  • Where do I find a tariff overview?

    You can use our price calculator to find out the price of a tariff quickly and easily.

    A complete overview of all tariffs with all details can be found under our tariff overview.

    In the left column, you will see the type of music use, e.g. live music performance, communication to the public of sound recordings and audiovisual recordings, music use on the internet and others. Select the appropriate one.

    Then you can specify the exact division. In case of live music performance, for example, background music with musicians or concert/festival/cabaret.
