If you're submitting a release to GEMA, you need to ensure that all the necessary steps are taken for a proper declaration and calculation of fees.
1. Register Your Release with GEMA
- Log in to the GEMA Online Portal
- Go to "Meine Setlists & Werke" to declare each track
If applicable, register unpublished compositions
2. Calculate GEMA Fees
The fees depend on:
- Vinyl format (12", 7", LP, etc.)
- Number of pressed copies
- Track lengths
- Sales price
Use GEMA’s fee calculator or apply the standard mechanical reproduction fee (~13-15% of the net selling price).
