How does this calculator work?
With chair rent, the barber keeps all cut money minus the rent, and the shop gets the rent. With commission, the barber keeps their percentage and the shop keeps the rest. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
Should a new barber rent a chair or take commission?
Commission is usually safer while you build a client list, because a slow week does not cost you rent. Chair rent pays more once you are busy and steady.
Does FadeReady track both?
Yes. Each barber can be on chair rent or commission, and FadeReady adds up their earnings and reminds renters when rent is due.
