Upload a picture of each technician’s weekly work sheet. See exactly what to pay.
This sample shows the table a salon owner wants at the end of the week: technician payout, check payout by default, any owner-controlled cash adjustments, a warning when a cash advance exceeds earnings, and the owner-keeps estimate.

Paper sheet imported
Hằng, Mai, Hoa, and the rest of the team are ready for review.

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 deductions 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 net check (after the employee's FICA); 1099 contractors are paid the full gross, and the owner pays no employer payroll tax on them.
How these numbers are calculated →Owner worksheet
These numbers stay in NailWage as an owner review until you finalize, export, or share a technician summary. NailWage does not send them outside your account unless you choose a share or export action.
Payout shown is gross technician pay before employee FICA and income-tax withholding.
