Not Clear on WGA Minimums

[moonshieldmedia]

Anyone here know a lot about the Writer's Guild or anyone here that can put this contract language in clear terms for me?

Basically I'm trying to figure out how much I could expect to get if, let's say Netflix, options (but doesn't buy) my 30 minute pilot script and treatment.

Basically I'm trying to figure out how much I could expect to get if, let's say Netflix, options (but doesn't buy) my 30 minute pilot script and treatment.

I am a Guild member. I'd be glad to help.

Go to page 15. Starting May 2, 2016 the minimum a producer can pay for
a 30 minutes or less story and teleplay (that's the script) is $14,621. That's
for something "other than network prime time" like Netflix. An option is
typically 10% of the final price.
