Nail Salon Payroll & Commission

Payroll & commission

Payroll that runs itself.

Commission, tips and booth rent add up correctly for every tech — generate a whole pay period in one tap, then hand each employee a clear paystub.

Every tech is on a different deal — some on commission, some on booth rent — and tips have to be split right. Doing that by hand at the end of the week is slow, error-prone, and the first thing techs argue about.

How it works

Commission or booth rent, per tech

Set each tech up the way they actually work — commission or booth rent — and SimpliNail calculates their pay accordingly.

Tips split automatically

Tips entered at checkout are split to the right tech, so nobody has to reconcile them by hand.

PIN clock-in and timesheets

Techs clock in with a PIN, and their hours build a timesheet you don't have to keep on paper.

Reassign a ticket, keep the math right

Move a service to a different tech and its commission and tip move with it, so pay always matches who did the work.

What you get

  • Commission and booth rent handled per tech
  • Tips split automatically to the right tech
  • PIN clock-in builds the timesheet for you
  • Techs see their own take-home income
  • Reporting that's friendly for 1099 and W-2
