Pay your team right. Every time.
Flexible commission structures that calculate automatically. Per-job, percentage-based, tiered: whatever your pay model, Mako tracks it and shows exactly what's owed.
Build pay plans that fit how you actually pay.
Flat rate per job, percentage of revenue, percentage of profit, tiered rates based on volume, or any combination. Assign structures to team members, to services, or to both.
Four pay models, one payroll run.
Your lead instructor is on a revenue split, your weekend teacher is on tiered rates, your front desk is hourly and your apprentice is a flat rate per class. Mako holds all of it and settles them together.
Commissions that calculate themselves.
As jobs complete and invoices get paid, Mako applies the structure you defined and records what is owed. Every line is traceable back to the job that earned it, which is why disputes stop happening.
Reward the people who bring in more.
First $1,000 at 35%, the next $1,500 at 40%, everything above $2,500 at 45%. Mako tracks progress through the ladder and applies the right rate to each dollar, and the person earning it can see exactly where they stand.
Never pay out on money you have not collected.
Choose whether commission is earned on job completion or on payment received. Pick payment received and Mako holds the commission on unpaid invoices, then releases it automatically when they clear.
of commission disputes come from calculation errors or a structure nobody could explain. Mako removes both: the maths is the same every week, and everyone can see it.
Everyone sees the same numbers, including your team.
Connect with your favourite tools.
Can commissions be based on profit instead of revenue?
Yes. Commission structures can calculate as a percentage of job profit (revenue minus costs) instead of gross revenue.
Can different people be on completely different pay models?
Yes. One person can be on a percentage of revenue, another on tiered rates, another hourly, another a flat rate per job. They all settle in the same payout run.
When is commission actually earned?
You choose: on job completion, or on payment received. Most owners pick payment received, so commission is never owed on an invoice that has not been collected.
How are tips handled?
Tips are tracked separately from commission and pass through in full to the person who earned them. They appear on the payout run but are never part of a commission calculation.
Can team members see their own numbers?
Yes. Each person sees their earnings, pending commission and payment history, but only their own, and only what their role allows.
