Escort Agency Commission and Fees: What to Ask

This guide is intended as general information for adults. Individual circumstances and applicable rules can differ. Take time to make informed decisions, protect your privacy and seek qualified independent advice where appropriate.

Identify every charge

Ask for a written schedule of all charges: commission, profile fees, photography, advertising, administration, payment processing and any optional extras. Confirm whether charges apply when no booking takes place. A fee described as “small” can become significant when repeated.

Understand the calculation

Check the exact amount on which commission is calculated. Ask whether travel costs, deposits, refunds, discounts or additional time affect the calculation. Request worked examples for a completed booking, a cancellation and a refund so there is no uncertainty.

Payment timing and records

The agreement should explain who receives the client payment, who holds any deposit, when your share is transferred and what statement or receipt you receive. Keep your own records and reconcile them regularly. Never accept unexplained deductions or pressure to use an unfamiliar payment channel.

Contract terms and exit

Read the duration, renewal, termination, notice period, exclusivity, image rights, data retention and dispute process. Be wary of penalties that are disproportionate or terms that prevent you from accessing your own accounts or content. Obtain independent legal or financial advice if anything is unclear.
