How does OneMusic New Zealand calculate the fee?

OneMusic New Zealand first matches your business to the relevant licence category. The fee can then reflect the type and scale of the business, the premises, the way music is used and whether you choose monthly or annual payment.

Give a complete description of your use. Background music, live events, digital delivery, music in video and copied music can have different conditions.

The official OneMusic New Zealand fee calculator should be used for the current price. Rates and categories can change.

You do not need a separate OneMusic New Zealand 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 OneMusic New Zealand'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 OneMusic New Zealand 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.
