How to Calculate Hair Salon, Spa & Barbershop Staff Commissions Automatically

When a guest redeems a prepaid session, the register total is $0—yet your therapist still performed the work. GlowOS automatically credits staff commissions from the package's per-session value.

1. Four Distinct Commission Buckets Every Studio Needs

Blending service revenue with retail take-home products distorts salon margins, while ignoring package execution commissions demotivates staff from serving VIP bundle holders.

GlowOS computes exact payouts per line item—supporting both percentage and flat-rate structures plus optional per-order overrides.

  • Package Execution Payouts: Automatically calculates staff commission from perSessionValue even when today's checkout price is $0.
  • Retroactive Add-On Policy Helper: Update add-on charm/serum commission rules cleanly across open periods.
  • 1-Click CSV Payroll Export for instant end-of-week or monthly payouts.

Studio Operations Checklist

Configure separate main service, add-on, and retail commission rates per staff member.
Verify package per-session values when creating multi-session bundles.
Export commission summaries to CSV at the end of each pay period.
