How much do movie extras make a day?

Answer by  Bobby5952 (7)

They are not signed, and do not get paid a salary. Some extras do not even get paid, they just get the enjoyment of being able to see themselves in the movie. Other times extras are paid, but it is only a flat rate which is agreed upon and they get paid after the movie is filmed.

It varies a lot based on the size of the production budget, from zero to $100 a day usually. Commonly it will be $50, but long shoots and more appearances may pay $100 or more.

An extra's pay depends on if they are union members. Union extras tend to make $100 to $300 a day. A non-union member usually makes minimum wage. So, for 8 hours of work, non-union members will make about $50.
