Commission tracking for barbershops
Splits, tiers, product and walk-ins — barbershop pay is simple until it is done by hand every week. CommissionBoard turns your sales report into every barber’s pay, and shows each of them their numbers as the month goes.
What goes wrong by hand
Splits worked out on a calculator
Every barber, every week, by hand — and one typo is someone’s rent. Calculating it from the sales report removes the typing.
Tiers nobody can see
A tiered split only motivates a barber who knows how close the next tier is.
Product left out
Pomade and beard oil pay differently from cuts. A separate product rate keeps it counted.
A plan the board runs
A split the board can run:
| Service split | A per-barber service percentage |
|---|---|
| Product | A separate per-barber product percentage |
| Goal | Monthly, prorated for part months |
| Bonuses | New-client bonus and one-off bonuses |

Questions
Does it handle chair rent?
Chair rent is a fixed payment from the barber, so there is no commission to calculate. The board is for barbers paid on a split.
Are tips included?
No. Tips are not commission and stay out of the calculation.
What does it cost?
$20 a month per location, no contract.
