Salon take-rate ledger

Salon & spa Gym & studio

Each bar adds up everything the platform keeps in a month: subscription, per-staff fees, the new-client fee and card fees. Bars are on one scale, so the longest is the most expensive for your inputs.

Bars share one scale. Hover a segment for its amount. “from” = entry plan; “3rd-party” = vendor page not read.

How to read it

New-client fee is charged once per brand-new client a marketplace sends you, not on returning clients. Enter 0 if you do not use a marketplace.
Hatched end = a part of the bill the vendor does not publish (for example Mindbody's card percentage), so the real total is higher.
Prices are list prices for the US on 2026-11-10. Method and gaps.
