Upload a picture of each technician’s weekly work sheet. See exactly what to pay.

Cash/check split
NailWage separates cash payout and check payout so you know what to prepare.
Hoa
Cash advance needs review
Hoa has $90.00 more cash advance or charges than their calculated earnings. Fix the entry before finalizing a real closeout.
Owner insight
Owner keeps estimate
See what the salon keeps after technician payouts, card fees, supplies, and operating costs before you create your account.
One promise
Technician payout table
See total technician payout, cash to hand out, and checks to write before you finalize.
This sample mixes W2 employees and 1099 contractors. Expand a W2 technician to see the estimated take-home check after the technician's W2 tax; 1099 contractors are paid before tax, and the owner pays no owner W2 tax on them.
How these numbers are calculated →Owner draft
These numbers stay in NailWage for the owner to review. They are finalized, exported, or shared with technicians only when you choose that action.
Technician pay is shown before the pay provider withholds the technician's taxes.
