Before and after

BEFORE · what the owner typed

Need pay for March at Rushwick Music Studio, 8468 Reedwick St, Fairhurst. Three teachers. Evelyn Doherty (piano) gets 60% of what the students pay. She taught 6 half hour lessons at $30 and 4 hour lessons at $55. One of the hour lessons was a no show and the family still paid. Felix Finch (guitar) gets a flat $22 per half hour lesson. He taught 12 half hour lessons. Families paid $32 each. Take out $15 for the strings he bought from the studio. Fatima Ellis (violin) gets 55% of fees. She taught 8 half hour lessons at $34 and 3 hour lessons at $60. One of the half hour lessons was canceled with 2 days notice and not charged, so don't count it. That's already not in the 8, it's a 9th one.

This is a calculation only. How teachers are classified and paid, and any withholding or reporting, should be confirmed with your accountant or a payroll professional.

Questions for the owner

Should the $15 strings deduction be treated as the studio being repaid, so the studio keeps it on top of its share? I did that above.
Do you want these amounts rounded to the nearest dollar, or paid to the cent?

What it does

Works out what each teacher is owed for a pay period and what the studio keeps, using the split or rate you give. Handles percentage splits, flat per-lesson rates, and teachers on different deals in the same period.

Use it when: Use when a music lesson studio owner needs to work out what to pay each teacher, or the studio and teacher split, for a pay period, such as "calculate teacher pay," "what do I owe my teachers this month," or "figure out the studio split."
