Commission that calculates itself
Every appointment already knows who performed it and what it earned. Payroll should not need re-entering.
Salyntra calculates each stylist’s pay from the appointments they actually performed, using the commission structure you set for them. It supports flat commission, tiered rates, and sliding-scale bands where the percentage rises with revenue — plus salary, or any combination. Pay periods close into a record you can review and disburse against.
How is commission calculated?
From the service lines on completed appointments, credited to the stylist who performed each one. A multi-service appointment split across two stylists credits each of them for their own work rather than assigning the whole ticket to whoever was booked first.
Tax is excluded from the commissionable amount. A stylist is paid on the value of the service, not on VAT you are collecting on behalf of the government — getting that wrong quietly overpays every stylist on every ticket.
What compensation structures are supported?
Flat percentage, tiered rates by service or category, and sliding-scale bands where the rate steps up as a stylist’s revenue crosses thresholds you define. Salary is tracked alongside, so a stylist on a base plus commission is one arrangement rather than two things you reconcile by hand.
Structures can be scheduled to change on a future date, so a raise agreed today takes effect at the start of the next period without anyone having to remember to apply it.
How do pay periods work?
You close a period, which snapshots what each stylist earned in it. From there you record disbursements against it and add adjustments — a correction, a bonus, a deduction — each of which stays visible rather than silently changing the underlying figure.
The result is that “why is this number what it is” has an answer, months later, without reconstructing it from the calendar.
Can staff request an advance on their pay?
Yes, if you enable it. Loans are off by default. When you turn them on you set a monthly cap as a percentage of a stylist’s pay, and requests above that are simply not possible rather than being possible and then awkward.
A request goes to the owner for approval and the whole exchange is recorded, so an advance agreed in a corridor is not something anyone has to remember.
Is there a record of who changed what?
On the Pro plan, yes: a full who-did-what timeline across the salon’s records, which is the thing you want when a figure is disputed and two people remember the conversation differently.
Common questions
Does commission include VAT?
No. Tax is excluded from the commissionable amount, so stylists are paid on the value of the service rather than on tax you are collecting on behalf of the government.
Can two stylists share one appointment?
Yes. Each service line on an appointment is credited to the stylist who performed it, so a client who has colour with one stylist and a treatment with another produces the right commission for both.
Can I give a stylist a raise that starts next month?
Yes. Compensation changes can be scheduled with a future effective date, so the new rate applies from the period you choose without anyone needing to remember to change it on the day.
