We show that measures of star formation rates (SFRs) for infrared galaxies using either single-band 24um or extinction-corrected Pa{alpha} luminosities are consistent in the total infrared luminosity =L(IR)~10^10^L_{{sun}}_ range. As a part of this work, we constructed spectral energy distribution templates for eleven luminous and ultraluminous purely star forming infrared galaxies and over the spectral range 0.4um to 30cm. We use these templates and the SINGS data to construct average templates from 5um to 30cm for infrared galaxies with L(IR)=5x10^9^ to 10^13^L_{{sun}}_.
