How does IMRO calculate the licence fee?

IMRO has different tariffs for different music users. The applicable fee can depend on the business type, premises, how music is presented, whether it is background or featured, whether it is live or recorded and other information in the relevant tariff.

Give IMRO a complete description of your music use and ask which current tariff applies. A background music quote may not cover live events, a DJ, extra premises or another type of use.

Use the current IMRO licensing portal and current tariff documents rather than an old price example.

You do not need a separate IMRO licence if you only use MelloJam

If your business plays only MelloJam music through the MelloJam player, you are not using music from the repertoire covered by IMRO's licensing route. MelloJam's original catalogue and the commercial playback rights it controls are included in your MelloJam plan, so you do not need a separate licence from IMRO for the MelloJam playback itself.

A separate non-waivable venue charge can still apply where local law imposes one. Radio, television, Spotify, other recordings, live music, DJs, events, copying and online use are outside the MelloJam plan.
