When the math feels confusing, trust breaks down fast — and that's when you lose good people. This calculator gives your team a clear picture of what they earn and what they need to do to earn more.
Transparency builds trust. This calculator makes it easy.
Try it — enter numbers to see how it works
Plug in a stylist's rate, hours, and commission — and the calculator shows exactly what they need in sales to earn what they want.
Walk candidates through earning potential before they even start. It sells the opportunity for you.
Hand it to new hires so they understand exactly how every dollar of their paycheck is calculated.
Plug in real numbers and show them how close they are to commission — or celebrate how far past it they went.
Use the service goal as a weekly target they can track on the floor. Give them something specific to aim for.

You see the money hit your account and think you're doing great. But once rent, supplies, back bar, insurance, and taxes come out — do you actually know what you're earning per hour?

This isn't a generic spreadsheet. Every line item was designed for self-employed stylists — by a salon owner who knows exactly where your money goes.

Yes! Upload the file to Google Sheets (File → Import) and all the formulas work. Also works in Excel and Numbers.

Nope. The Self-Employed Calculator is designed to replace QuickBooks for stylists who need to track income, expenses, and taxes each pay period. Clean and simple.
If you're a salon owner or employee — get the Salon Owner Calculator. It's built to show how hourly vs. commission pay works and set service goals. If you're a suite renter, booth renter, or independent stylist — get the Self-Employed Calculator. It tracks your income, all your expenses, taxes, and shows your real take-home.
If you sell your own product, enter the full retail sales collected — your cost of goods is deducted separately in expenses. If you earn commission on someone else's retail, just enter the commission amount.
Stop guessing. Start tracking. Know your real numbers — every single pay period.
