How it’s worked out
New memberships brought in $5,000 this month and 4% goes in the pool: $200. The pool is paid by place — 40% to first, 30% to second, 20% to third and 10% to fourth.
Ashley sold the most (9) and takes 40%: $80. Brooke and Carmen tie on 7, so they share second and third place — 30% + 20%, split evenly — and each get 25%: $50. Dana is fourth with 10%: $20. Erin sold none, so isn’t ranked. All $200 is paid out.
Ranking on sign-ups favours whoever works the most shifts. If your team mixes full- and part-timers, consider ranking on memberships against each person’s own goal instead — see how to set sales goals.
Common questions
What is an EFT membership?
A tanning (or gym) membership billed automatically every month by electronic funds transfer. Because it keeps paying, a new EFT sign-up is often worth more to the salon than any single package sale.
Why pay a pool instead of a flat amount per membership?
A pool sets the cost as a share of the revenue memberships bring in, so it never outgrows them, and ranking turns sign-ups into a visible competition. A flat amount per sign-up is simpler and rewards every sale equally. Many salons start with one and move to the other.
How are ties handled?
People who tie share the places they tie for equally. In the example, two people tie for second, so they split the second and third shares — 30% and 20% — and each get 25%.
What if fewer than four people qualify?
This calculator leaves the unclaimed shares unpaid and shows how much. Some salons instead share them among those who qualified. Either is fine; decide in advance and write it down.
Should cancelled memberships count?
Many salons only count a sign-up once its first payment clears, or take it back if the member cancels within a set window. Whatever the rule, apply it the same way to everyone.
