Stylist commission worked out from every sale.
Set your commission rules once and Timeo works out what each stylist earned on services and retail, month by month, from the sales you already record.
Why salon commission becomes a monthly argument
Most salons pay stylists a share of what they bring in, but the rules are rarely simple: a higher rate past a revenue target, a different rate for colour than for cuts, a smaller share for the assistant who did the wash and blow dry.
Working that out from a spreadsheet at the end of the month takes hours, and every stylist checks it against their own notes. One missed retail sale and trust in the whole number is gone.
How Timeo works out salon commission
Commission rules cover services and products, as a percent or a fixed amount per unit, for all staff, one stylist or one role, with a priority when rules overlap. Commission accrues on completed sales and services.
For more complex pay plans, commission profiles support a flat rate, tiered rates by revenue bracket, rates by service category, and a primary and assistant split. Generate statements at the end of the month and the period locks once the month closes, so the numbers cannot drift afterwards.
Stylists can open My commission to see their own numbers, and the Staff performance leaderboard compares revenue, average ticket, average visit time and completion across the team.
Set up commissions
- Open Reports > Commissions and press New rule; choose service or product, Percent or Fixed amount per unit, and who it applies to.
- For tiered, category or assistant pay, open Commission statements and create a profile with Flat rate, Tiered by revenue, By category or Primary and assistant, then assign it to each stylist.
- At month end, press Generate statements and export the CSV for payroll.
- Check Team > Performance to compare stylists on the Leaderboard.
What your stylists see
Each stylist signs in with their own login and sees My commission: what they earned from their own services and product sales, nothing about anyone else.
Clients notice nothing at all, which is the point: checkout stays one quick bill while the commission is worked out in the background.

Can I pay a higher rate when a stylist passes a target?
Yes. Tiered by revenue lets you set revenue brackets with their own rates.
Can the assistant share the commission?
Yes. The Primary and assistant profile splits commission between the main stylist and the assistant.

Yes. Rules can be for services or products, as a percent or a fixed amount per unit sold.
