sunstopwindowtinting Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 So my business partner and I are both 22. Been tinting for 6 years a piece and are doing very well with a 2,400 square foot place. How much pay would you say is fair (Commision wise) for hiring a window tinter with 15yrs experience?. We are young and have never hired before haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I've never been in your situation, so I'm not sure I would do as I'm suggesting... but with the way the tint industry is in that there is a good % of employees that decide to leave and start their own shop - I think I would sit down with the tinter and come to an arrangement that makes both parties happy with the tinter happy enough that they wouldn't decide at some point down the road to become my competition. Granted, there are no guarantees in life, but I would try to do what I could to protect my own business as much as I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamgayton81 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 You also need to look at how much your supplies and other overhead costs to be able to ultimately decide how much you still need to make to keep income for your company to still make money. After that you can start looking at wages for employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicATL Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 We now do flat salary plus bonus. This is so they do not have to worry if it is slow. Another route would be a smaller flat salary plus small commission. They way they are guaranteed money no matter what and make more money when it is busy.

Apex Tint Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 If you're busy enough to hire someone solely on commission, 30% seems to be the industry standard for an experienced tinter. At least in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 If you want to maxims your profits I would not hire another tinter just yet. You say you have 2 partners that both are experienced installers. i would look to hiring some to so all the other things like, run cars, run the front end, pep cars for you, clean the shop. All the stuff that takes you away from installing. You will likely pay them less and have way lee heartache and will also be keeping installs up to your standards.

flat rock stan Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I pay from thirty to fourty percent for experienced tinters but........ My advice is do not hire a tinter. Keep your profits up and be in control of quality as well as your own destiny. Hire a shop helper if anything but my advice is do just what you have been doing. Raise your prices.

shadytints Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 lots of options to choose from. fair commission varies by market, go to your competitors and apply for a job to find out. help wanted ad, top pay, interview your competitors employees. I have an assistant, for prep and clean up on salary. steady income, full time summer par time winter work. if I am open 9 to 6 and it takes me 1.5 hours to tint a car I make X 6 cars 1/2 hr lunch. with assistant takes 1 hour and can tint 8.5. do the math for your market. what do you make a car, cost you a car does the difference support an addition? total sales/invoices per year = what ya make total overhead per year/invoices what it cost ya you can break it down by week, day or by employee. can be a eye opener to know what an empty bay cost per hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
