So, I am trying to figure out what is the going amount a co-host or guest host makes. I know this varies but maybe a baseline amount or a way to calculate it.
I also know that a lot of us do it for free but what are people making on the bigger shows?

Well it depends on how much money you are making from the show and how much work your co-host is putting into it

If you pay by the hour then 10 dollars per show isnt that bad (considering its a 1 hour show)

I would do it for free because it is a passion of mine.I think its insane to ask for money if no money is being made. Most "Podcasters" are not making a dime from this. I think many people would be very happy with 10 dollars an hour to sit and bs.

I think it really comes down to how much money the show is making. If you are making a grand a week from a show 10 dollars obviously is not enough... but if you are making nothing then 10 dollars is too much

I guess that's the best answer. I guess depending on if the host this is a guest or a part of the show comes into the equation too.

I was approached before I left Japan and they wanted a figure. Had to decline because they wanted someone in the Japan timezone.
I would pay if I thought it would lead to something, I wanted quality talent, or if the other party did the production, etc.

Would love to hear from other people if they pay their cohosts
