What Pay?

Seems to me that on a commission only basis that most good tinters get 30% up to 40% for masters of the trade.

Anyone hear of deducting films costs before commission is paid?

Sounds ridiculas

I can not remember ever seeing 40%. I think the norm would be 20-25%. and maybe a bonus after a certain gross. But never a deduct on the material cost.

I've always earned at least 35%

But then I had a lot of other duties that I didn't get paid for.

I can't see deducting film costs.....unless somebody tends to have a lot of wasted film.

Yep, if I'm buying the film and installing it, might as well start me own shop. :lol

during the years I spent working for someone else. I made 35% to 40%.

One of the shops I worked for didn't deduct for auto but deducted film cost for flat glass.

And every shop I worked at I was required to make appointments answer phones calls, and deal with all the other general shop stuff as part of my daily job.

I think that 40% is really fair for a good professional tinter. If a guy is working for 20% to 25%. He won't work for to long before he goes elsewhere. Making 35% to 40% was plenty enough to keep me around. I mainly went on my own when the last shop I worked for started giving me less tint work and more BS work to make their pockets fatter. :eyebrows

Hmmmm. I have not worked for anyone on a % basis since 88-89 ish. Back then I think I got 25%. Hells for 40% who is hiring !
