Commission Tracking Made Simple
Track and manage staff commissions automatically. Set percentage or fixed-rate rules per service, approve payouts with a single click, and run bulk payments for your entire team. Built for salons, spas, clinics, and any team-based service business.
Staff commission tracking is the process of calculating, recording, and paying earnings owed to team members based on the services they perform. With commission-based compensation common across the service sector — as confirmed by labor statistics — SchedulingKit automates this entire workflow, from defining commission rules and calculating payouts per completed appointment, to approving earnings and running bulk payments, so you can stop managing commissions in spreadsheets and start paying your team accurately and on time.
Commission Tracking Features
Everything you need to manage staff commissions from booking to payout.
Commission Rules (Percentage / Fixed)
Define commission structures that match how your business works. Set percentage-based commissions (e.g., 40% of service revenue), fixed-amount payouts per booking, or tiered rates that increase as staff hit performance targets.
Per-Service Commission Rates
Not every service earns the same margin. Set different commission rates for each service — higher rates for premium treatments, lower for add-ons. Staff earn exactly what each service warrants.
Automatic Calculation
Commissions are calculated automatically when appointments complete. No manual spreadsheets, no end-of-month math. Every booking feeds into the commission engine in real time so you always know where your team stands.
Approval Workflow
Review commissions before they become payable. Managers approve, adjust, or flag individual payouts before any money moves. Built-in audit trail keeps a record of every approval decision.
Bulk Payouts
Pay your entire team at once. Approve pending commissions, review the total for each staff member, and run a single bulk payout. Weekly, biweekly, or monthly — you set the schedule that works for your business.
Commission Reports
See the full picture with detailed commission reports. Filter by staff member, date range, service type, or location. Export to CSV for your accountant or integrate directly with your payroll system.
Staff Earnings Dashboard
Give your team visibility into their own earnings. Each staff member gets a personal dashboard showing completed bookings, pending commissions, approved payouts, and total earnings — updated in real time.
Payment Processing Integration
Commission tracking connects directly to SchedulingKit payments. When a client pays at booking, the commission is calculated from the actual collected amount — not the list price — for accurate payouts every time.
How Commission Tracking Works
From rule setup to team payout in four steps. Zero spreadsheets required.
Set Commission Rules
Define your commission structure — percentage, fixed, or tiered — and assign rates to each service. You can set global defaults and override them per staff member or service.
Appointments Complete
As clients book and appointments are completed, SchedulingKit automatically calculates commissions based on your rules. Everything happens in the background with zero manual input.
Review & Approve
Open the commissions dashboard, review pending payouts, and approve them individually or in bulk. Make adjustments if needed before finalizing.
Pay Your Team
Run bulk payouts on your schedule. Staff see their approved earnings in their personal dashboard and receive payment through your preferred method.

Commission Tracking FAQ
Common questions about managing staff commissions.
How does commission tracking work in SchedulingKit?
When a client completes an appointment, SchedulingKit automatically calculates the staff member's commission based on the rules you've configured. You define the commission type (percentage of service revenue, fixed amount per booking, or tiered rates), assign rates per service, and the system handles the math. Commissions appear in the dashboard for review, approval, and payout.
Can I set different commission rates for different services?
Yes. Each service in SchedulingKit can have its own commission rate. For example, you might set 50% commission on haircuts, 40% on color treatments, and a flat $10 per add-on service like a blowout. This per-service flexibility ensures your commission structure reflects actual margins.
Do staff members see their own commissions?
Yes. Each staff member has access to a personal earnings dashboard where they can see completed bookings, pending commissions, approved payouts, and their total earnings over any date range. This transparency reduces payout disputes and keeps your team motivated.
How do bulk payouts work?
Once commissions are approved, you can run a bulk payout that processes all pending amounts for your entire team at once. You choose the payout frequency — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — and SchedulingKit summarizes the totals for each staff member. The payout report can be exported for your payroll system or accountant.
Is commission tracking available on the free plan?
Basic commission tracking is available on paid plans. The free plan includes staff management and appointment tracking, but commission rules, automatic calculation, approval workflows, and bulk payouts require a paid subscription. Check the pricing page for plan details and feature comparison.
