I am wanting to know a good pay rate for professional christian groups that travel, with/without equipment.?

Is there any professional singers out there can give me an idea of what to charge for concerts and an operating and traveling fee. Should we charge more if we have to take our own equipment. A lot of groups will accept love offerings in churches, but I need to know about the events that are not.

In 2006, the median hourly earnings for singers and musicians were $13.57/hr in religious organizations

You should charge more if you bring your own equipment but only enough to cover expenses.

For events that do not collect a love offering, it best to estimate what you expenses are and make sure that they are covered in addition to your wages.

Realize that unless you are well known, the competition for jobs is keen. If your not well known you may have to invest time and money (operate at a loss) for a least a year or two or find a sponsor.
