How can nail salons track tech commissions and tips?
Nail salons can track technician commissions and tips using salon management software that automatically calculates earnings per service. The software supports flexible commission structures including percentage-based, flat-rate, and tiered models. Tips are recorded at checkout and attributed to each technician, with cash and card tips separated for accurate reporting. Tip pooling rules, payout summaries, and payroll-ready CSV exports for QuickBooks, Gusto, and ADP are generated automatically. At tax time, 1099 and W-2 support exports simplify filing for salon owners and independent technicians alike.
Frequently Asked Questions About Salon Employee & Staff Management
Common questions salon and barbershop owners ask about this feature
Tilavon automatically calculates technician commissions per service using flexible structures -- percentage-based, flat-rate, or tiered models. Each service can have its own commission rate, and the system generates per-technician payout summaries with service, tip, and commission breakdowns. Payroll-ready exports for QuickBooks, Paychex, Gusto, and ADP are generated with one click in CSV, Excel, or PDF format.
Tilavon supports both employee and booth-renter models. For 1099 independent contractors, it tracks total payments, generates year-end 1099-NEC forms, and manages automated monthly booth rent invoicing. For W-2 employees, it handles commission calculations, tax withholdings, and payroll exports. You can mix both models in the same salon.
Tilavon supports configurable tip pooling rules that let salon owners define split ratios between technicians, assistants, and front desk staff. Cash and card tips are tracked separately for accurate reporting. At the end of each day or pay period, the system calculates each person's share based on your pooling rules and includes the results in payout summaries.
Tilavon exports payroll data in native formats for QuickBooks, Paychex, ADP, and Gusto. You can also export to CSV, Excel, or PDF formats, email reports to your accountant, or enable automatic QuickBooks sync with payroll journal entries. The export includes hours worked, commissions, tips (cash and card separated), deductions, and adjustments. Payroll periods can be locked after processing to prevent accidental edits.
Tilavon includes full staff scheduling with shift planning, time-off requests with approval workflow, PTO tracking, clock-in/clock-out, and role-based permissions. Schedules are displayed alongside the appointment calendar so owners can see coverage gaps. The mobile app lets technicians view their schedule, track earnings, and clock in from their phone.
