How to calculate the cost of your establishment’s ERA Licence

Licence fees are based on the number of full-time students or full-time equivalent students multiplied by the applicable tariff. Methods of calculating a full-time equivalent student vary from sector to sector and discounted licence fees may apply to certain group licence arrangements. Please contact ERA directly for an accurate quote.

Over 93% of ERA Licence income is paid to our Members. This ensures that rightsholders are being paid fairly for the work they have created.
