The calculation starts from the sales assigned to each person — services, products, tips — and applies the rule you've set. The amount shown will end up on a payslip: check it before paying.

The commissions report.

The period, first

Everything that follows depends on it. Use exactly your pay period: a one-day shift moves a sale from one month to the other, and the gap ends up on the payslip.

This sentence says which sales are counted and which date they're tied to. Read it once and for all: it's what explains discrepancies with your till.

The total to pay out

The total to pay out.
The total to pay out.

The sum of commissions for the period, across everyone. This is a gross commission amount: contributions and the rest of the salary don't enter into this calculation.

The detail by person

The detail by person.

Unfold a line to see, day by day, where the amount comes from. This is the detail you show a team member who disputes it: there's nothing hidden behind the total.

The rules

The Rules tab sets the percentages — on services, on products, or a fixed amount per visit — for the whole salon or person by person. Changing a rule changes the calculation: reopen the report after changing it, before announcing a figure.

Frequently asked questions

Does the amount shown include social security contributions?

No, it's a gross commission amount: contributions and the rest of the salary don't enter into this calculation.

I changed a commission rule, is the report up to date?

Reopen it after changing the rule: a changed rule changes the calculation, but an already open report doesn't update itself.

A team member disputes their amount, how do I show them where it comes from?

Unfold their line: the day-by-day detail explains exactly where the total comes from, with nothing hidden.

A sale has no team member, where does the commission go?

Nowhere: it earns nobody anything. Check that the team member is properly chosen on each line of the basket at the till.
