Experiance and pay

[Guest Sprinter]

if I had a tinter working for me I would pay 40% and then after a few years up them to 50% and have them run the shop!

not bad it you charge 400 a car...

I wouldn't take less than 35%. If you manage your cash right in the summer you'll get thru winter just fine. Unfortunately I havent figured out how to manage money right in the summer

Full tint we charge 219.00-269.00. Being in MO the law allows 35% on doors. So everyone gets a full tint. So maybe stay my hourly rate with a 15% commish?

dead serious. Last September the boss actually said to me "I started you off too high when I hired you. ($250 a week salary and 15% commission). I'm going to pay you hourly and take your commission to 10%." (I did a quick check on the calculator based on the last pay stub and saw a $350 decrease.) Guess what I told him. He actually wanted to decrease my commission! It still burns me up inside to think about that conversation. Last year, the total in tint sales was approximately $200,000. You do the math.

Now. Who wants to hire me? I prefer a place that's not cold, or windy, or humid, or rainy. Oh yeah, NO TORNADOES!

the way I work it with my shop accounts is I charge them 150 for almost any car,,50 bucks for 2 fronts on an suv.......they make 75 on a full tint and 30 on a 2 door suv....everyone stays happy...extra aoney for them and it keeps me going

Just my 2 cents...

Never worked for less than 35% comission, at one point I earned 50%, but I think 35% to 40% is fair.

If a tinter is paid on commission and payroll with taxes,worker comp..unemployment... etc... etc.... when he makes 30% he's actually splitting the profits 50/50 with the boss because he has no expenses and the boss pays for everything else..not a bad deal for the tinter.
