Salon commission: common questions

How is stylist commission calculated?

In the simplest model, the stylist’s service revenue is multiplied by the commission rate. With tiered commission the rate depends on how much the stylist takes; with base plus commission there is also an hourly base pay.

Which commission model should my salon use?

A flat rate is simple, tiered rates reward higher takings, and base plus commission gives staff a secure minimum. Compare them with your own figures in the calculator.

Does the calculator show the cost to the salon?

Yes. Next to the stylist’s pay it shows the employer cost and what the salon keeps.

Is the commission calculator free?

Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up.
