Profit Split Calculator for Field Technicians
Enter what the customer paid, your parts cost, and your split. The calculator subtracts parts, applies your percentage to the net, then takes card and per-job fees out of your cut. It uses the same math Ron Reports applies to every saved job.
Deducted from your cut on every job
Your cut
$78.00
- Net profit
- $260.00
- Company cut
- $182.00
- Fees taken from your cut
- $0.00
$300.00 paid − $40.00 parts = $260.00 net. You keep 30% of the net.
How a profit split is calculated
A profit split is the share of a job's net profit that a technician keeps under an agreement with a dispatch company. Net profit is what the customer paid minus parts. The rest of the net goes to the company.
- Net profit = customer paid − parts.
- Your cut = net profit × your split, minus your own card fee and any per-job fee.
- Company cut = net profit × the company's split.
When the company processes the card, the fee usually comes off the net first, so both cuts shrink in proportion. Choose “Card · company ran it” above to see that version.
What common splits pay on the same job
Here is one job, $300 paid with $40 in parts ($260.00 net), at five common splits. No card or per-job fees.
| Your split | Your cut | Company cut |
|---|---|---|
| 30% to you | $78.00 | $182.00 |
| 40% to you | $104.00 | $156.00 |
| 50% to you | $130.00 | $130.00 |
| 60% to you | $156.00 | $104.00 |
| 70% to you | $182.00 | $78.00 |
Check that the company used the right split
Knowing your cut on one job is step one. The money you lose usually hides in the weekly report: a job paid below what you collected, parts deducted twice, or a job left off entirely. Our guide on how to check your dispatch company's weekly report walks through the seven errors to look for, with a worked example.
Frequently asked questions
How is a technician's cut calculated?
Subtract parts from what the customer paid to get the net profit, then multiply the net by your split. Card fees from your own reader and any per-job fee come out of your cut. For example, $300 paid minus $40 in parts is $260 net, and 30% of $260 is $78.
What does a 60/40 split mean?
There is no standard order. In some agreements 60/40 means you keep 60%, and in others the company keeps 60%. Check your agreement, then set your own share on the calculator. On a $260 net job, 60% is $156 and 40% is $104.
Who pays the credit card fee on a job?
It depends on who runs the card. If you charge it on your own reader, the processing fee usually comes out of your cut. If the company processes the payment, the fee is often taken from the net before the split, so you and the company share it. The calculator handles both.
Is the split usually on gross or net?
Agreements differ, so confirm yours in writing. On a $300 job with $40 in parts at a 30% split, a split on gross pays you $90 and a split on net pays you $78. That $12 difference repeats on every job.
Can Ron Reports calculate this automatically?
Yes. Paste the closing message for a job and Ron Reports reads the amount paid, parts, and address, then applies your split, card fees, and per-job fees and saves the job. The free plan covers 40 jobs a month.
