How the Splitting Logic Works

Handles multi-tier payouts, retail vs. service line splits, backbar product deductions, and dual-practitioner appointments automatically.

Multi-Line Ticket Sample $340 Total
Balayage ($280) 50% Cut
Retail Davines ($60) 10% Cut

Yes. You can customize your rules down to the individual employee or transaction type. For example, you can easily set a stylist to receive 50% on hair services but 10% on retail product sales on the exact same ticket.

Instant Line-Item Decomposition
Balayage ($280): 50% Stylist Cut ($140)
Davines Shampoo ($60): 10% Stylist Cut / 90% Studio Retained
Stylist Total Disbursed: $146.00 (42.9%) Studio Retained Operating: $194.00 (57.1%)

makesplit's rules engine dynamically adapts to your business. If you utilize tiered commission structures, the app tracks cumulative sales totals and automatically applies the updated splitting rules the moment the threshold is crossed without requiring retroactive spreadsheet recalculations.

auto_graph Both standard step-up tiers (applying only to revenue beyond the milestone) and accelerated retrospective tiers (adjusting the entire cycle) are natively supported.
