Grooming Payroll Calculator

Calculate hourly wages, commission-over-hourly, tips, total payroll, and sales after payroll for grooming salons that pay a stable hourly floor plus commission and tips.

Best for: Salons that combine hourly wages, commission, and tips. This gives valued team members steadier pay while still rewarding production.

Commission floor rule: If a groomer's commission target is lower than hourly wages, commission-over-hourly is treated as $0.

Note on overtime: This calculator does not compute overtime differentials. Groomers are typically exempt from overtime under the FLSA, while hourly bathers and other support staff do qualify for OT. Consult your state labor laws and payroll provider for accurate overtime calculations.

Note on taxes: This calculator does not compute payroll taxes, withholdings, or other deductions. Use your payroll provider for net pay calculations.
