Pay rates for supporting artists in the UK can vary depending on the production type (film, TV, commercial) and the agreement used (FAA, PACT, ITV, BBC). Generally, there is a standard daily rate for a set number of hours (e.g., 9 or 10 hours).

Productions operating under union agreements (like FAA/PACT) often have higher baseline rates and specific stipulations for overtime, night work, and supplementary fees. Non-union productions may set their own rates, which should still meet National Minimum Wage standards.

You can earn extra on top of your daily rate for specific skills or requirements. Common 'chits' or bumps include payments for haircuts, bringing specialized props (like a car or dog), performing a special action, or dialogue (even one line).
