## Link copiedBasic Service CommissionLink copied

Basic service commission is calculated as a percentage of service sales (after discounts). The default percentage will be used for **all** services performed by this staff member.

You can also set different commission percentages for specific services by going to the **Services** tab and selecting **Additional options**.

Enter a flat amount or a percentage that will only apply to this staff member and service.

## Link copiedSliding Scale Service CommissionLink copied

With sliding scale service commission, the percentage depends on the amount sold. This allows you to set multiple percentages for the staff member based on different tiers.

To calculate sliding scale service commission, select **Zero-based** or **Progressive**.

### Link copiedZero-basedLink copied

With **Zero-based**, the percentage for the highest tier that the staff member reached will be applied to the entire service total for the payroll period.

Based on the tiers shown in the image above, if the staff member sold $4,000 during the payroll period, their commission would be 50% ($2,000).

### Link copiedProgressiveLink copied

With **Progressive**, the percentages are only applied to their respective tiers.

Based on the tiers shown in the image above, if the staff member sold $4,000 during the payroll period, their commission would be the following:

## Link copiedProduct CommissionLink copied

Product commission is calculated as a percentage of **retail** product sales (after discounts). For [product usage](/learn/help-articles/services/product-usage/) sales, staff members will earn **service commission** instead of product commission.

The default percentage will be used for **all** retail products sold by this staff member. You can also set **commission overrides** for specific product categories and products. The system will use the most specific percentage available.

For example, in the image below, the **Signature Shampoo** is part of the **Body care** product category. Because it has a product-specific rate of 8%, the staff member will earn 8% commission instead of 12%. Any product that does **not** have a product category or product commission override will use the default percentage.
