How Much Do Escorts Get Paid
ShareHave you ever pondered on how much the average escort makes? Since there is very little documentation on escort salaries, it might be hard to give a concise answer to the question, “How much do escorts get paid?” In most towns, the escorting industry, or the sex industry in general, is still a line of work that is is seen as being outside of the norm. It's, therefore, quite understandable why many people in the industry don’t openly discuss their earnings.
Nevertheless, we have some escorts who opened up about their true earnings, and we took some time with them to answer the question. The following is a short explainer of how an average escort is paid and the factors that affect their salaries.
Why are escorts generally expensive?
Sex work is work, and considering the taxing nature of any work, it would be, therefore, safe to say sex work is among the most tiring jobs in the world, considering the escorts use their bodies. From the outside, escorting is seen as either a glamorous and lucrative hustle or a way to earn a living on your own terms. Remember, it's extremely difficult to have intimate relationships with total strangers, thus making this job extremely physically and emotionally draining. Generally, the mentioned risks and reasons are why escorts are considered a luxury, and their services can be crazy expensive.
What affects how much they are paid?
Several factors influence an escort's income. Age, gender, whether they are independent or with an agency, frequency of work, and type of clientele are some good and crucial examples.
Regarding agencies, we have some escorts who work under agencies. Here, agencies act as links between the escorts and the clients, and in return, the agency keeps a small fee of what the client pays as for the service. Say the agency charges $300 per hour for an escort; the agency might take about 20%, which translates to $60 as a service fee. That means the escort gets around $240 per hour of work. The days earnings will now depend on how long the bookings are. It's important to note that the service fee varies from agency to agency. Escorts who work independently earn more, although they might have difficulties securing regular work.
Gender also greatly affects earnings. Statistics show that the demand for female escorts is much higher than females however there are not as many male escorts; thus, their hourly rate can range between $300 to $1500.
So how much do escorts get paid?
There is no definitive amount of how much an escort is paid. However, this article by money after graduation suggests that if all factors are held constant, an average escort with a consistent flow of work might earn as much as $50,000 in a year. Some high-class VIP escorts can make twice as much.
In closing
An escort will normally ask for more from a client when asked to cross some boundaries. In addition, maintenance costs such as massage and healthcare appoints and check-ups as well as grooming affect charges and must be considered in calculating total earnings.
