Tevékenységük szolgáltatásnak és művészetnek is tekinthető, így a piaci törvények (kereslet-kínálat) hatása torzítva jelentkezik.
Ezért (is) van óriási szakadék (és ellentét) a populáris mainstream (EDM) és a színvonalasabbnak tartott "underground" között.
A kérdésre tehát nem lehet általános választ adni (a mikor, hol, kinek ismerete nélkül); a DJ-k jövedelme rendkívül tág határok között mozog.
(A magyar diszkó történetének volt olyan időszaka, amikor pontosan meghatározott, a szakmai minősítéstől függő összeghatárok közötti fizetést (+ költségtérítéseket) kaptak a lemezbemutatók.)
(Ez az ősi jelenség rontja a profik helyzetét, presztízsét, de gyakori, tisztességtelen módszere a fellépni vágyóknak.)
A legtöbbet kereső DJk a világ leggazdagabbjai közé tartoznak, mások ingyen dolgoznak (play for free), sőt vannak, akik fizetnek a fellépési lehetőségért (pay to play).
Most, novemberben "Pay The DJ" mozgalom indult -kétséges eredménnyel- a DJ-k (jobb) fizetéséért.
A helyzet hazánkban is hasonlatos - csak kisebb volumenben.

Általában egy előadó(művész) értékét -fellépti díját- alapvetően az ismertsége, népszerűsége, "eladhatósága" határozza meg.
Ebből a szempontból mindegy, hogy zenészről, politikusról, vagy DJ-ről van szó.
Ez derül ki a CTI (Celebrity Talent International) tájékoztatójából is:
Bigger name performers, speakers, actors, and athletes have asking fees that are a minimum of $100,000.The biggest names in music, like Sting, Rihanna, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake, will always ask for over $750,000+ for a US event, and even more for an international event. These acts very often turn down offers from buyers they do not know, and will only book a tour with major promoters such.Speakers like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and Richard Branson have a speaking fee of over $200,000. Speakers of this caliber generally require that a private jet be provided or paid for by the client.
