Commission, tips, hourly and booth rent — all calculated automatically from your real sales data. Astra turns payroll day from a spreadsheet marathon into a few clicks.
Payroll is where a lot of salon owners lose their evenings. Every service, every tip, every commission split and every booth-rent balance has to be tallied by hand, and one small error can cost you the trust of your team. Astra's salon payroll software ends that. Because it is built directly on top of your point of sale, it already knows who did what and who earned what — so payroll calculates itself from real, accurate data.
Salons rarely pay everyone the same way. You might have commission stylists, hourly assistants, booth renters and hybrid arrangements all under one roof. Astra handles every model in the same system. Set the rules once per person, and each pay period the numbers are ready without a calculator or a spreadsheet.
The result is payroll that is faster, more accurate and more transparent — so your team trusts their pay and you get your evenings back.
Commission, tips, hourly and booth rent — configured once and calculated for you every pay period.

The fastest way to lose a great stylist is to shortchange their paycheck by accident. Manual payroll is full of chances for exactly that kind of mistake. Astra removes them by calculating pay directly from the transactions that actually happened. If a service was rung up and a tip was added, it is already attributed to the right person — there is nothing to re-enter and nothing to miss.
Every staff member can be shown a clear breakdown of what they earned: commission by service, tips by day, hours worked and any deductions. That transparency builds trust and heads off the disputes that quietly erode team morale.
When numbers are automatic and accurate, payroll stops being a source of stress and becomes a routine you barely think about.
Manual payroll can eat an entire evening — or a full day for a bigger salon. Because Astra calculates commission, tips and rent automatically from your sales data, that work collapses into minutes. Over a year, that is dozens of hours you get back to spend on clients, growth or simply your own life instead of a calculator.
When staff can see exactly how their pay was calculated — service by service and tip by tip — the arguments disappear. Astra's transparency means your team trusts that their pay is right, which is one of the biggest factors in keeping good stylists and barbers from leaving for the shop down the road.
Most salons cobble together spreadsheets to handle their mix of commission, hourly and booth-rent staff. Astra does it all in one place. You configure each person's arrangement once, and every pay period the software applies the right rules automatically — no separate tools, no manual reconciliation.
Accurate, organized pay records make tax season and accountant handoffs far smoother. Astra keeps a clear history of earnings, tips and deductions and exports payroll-ready totals, so you and your accountant spend less time untangling records and more time closing the books.
Because payroll runs on the same data as your register, there is nothing to re-enter and nothing to reconcile.
Getting started is a one-time setup. We help you configure each staff member's pay structure — commission rates, hourly, booth rent or a hybrid — inside Astra. From then on, the software applies those rules automatically to every transaction.
Because payroll is part of your POS, there is nothing new to install and no separate system to maintain. Your numbers update in real time as sales happen, and you can review earnings from any device.
