I'm interested to know specifics of a deal that involves a Max Martin production. What's his producer fee? Does he get an advance on the production? (seems like an unnecessary aspect of accounting since his productions are likely to recoup). Also what percentage of royalties is he getting on his tracks?
I'm sorry, he hadn't shared it with us.
I would also love this information. Allthough, I know there is information on the "Teenage Dream" album and how much was spent on production, which gave a little indication, and it was a lot! But I can't find it.
Allthough, here is an interview with Bloodshy & Avant from 2008 where they say their production fee generally is above 50 000$ per song, and at the time of the interview, they had made over 7 million dollars only for "Toxic".

One can only assume that Max makes more.

for sure...
Timbaland charged US$100.000 for a track back in 2006.
I think he doesn't have a price: there must be a formula for royalties, his interest in the artist itself, etc.
Producer fees went down across the board due to shrinking sales, the financial crisis and its aftermath and low cost of entry (anybody with a laptop can try to produce something)
Same thing for mixing engineers, i know a few that used to charge 5-6k per song and these days its around 1500-2500
