Well,

You have 100 points. If you want to be exactly equal and you have 20 people - each person gets 5.

You could divide it by the amount of days spent on the project - give everyone .1 point for each day they worked. 20 days total = 2 points.

You could do it at your own discretion: the director gets 3, the writer gets 3, the actors get 1 each, the producer gets 2, the person who put up the money gets 5, each crew member gets 1. Just make sure the total doesn't go over 100.

What do YOU think is fair?

The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.
Joseph Joubert, essayist (1754-1824)

You also need to be very clear with investors about the percentage of *what* figure they are going to receive. Many people look at box-office grosses and get dollar signs in their eyes.

In most cases, if a producer is offering investors a percentage of the returns, then it is a percentage of the "producer's net". This figure is the amount of money returned to the producer by the film's distributor(s) after all of the splits and fees have been taken out.

Deals between distributors vary dramatically, but in many cases the producer's net of the income is a very small slice of the gross.
