Groomer Pay Calculator is a free tool for dog groomers who get paid on an hourly, commission, or blended structure and want a clear weekly picture of what they're actually earning — not just a rough guess until the next paycheck lands.
Commission-based pay is genuinely hard to estimate in your head, especially under a "hourly vs. commission, whichever is higher" structure. Knowing whether you've "commissioned out" for the week — and how many more grooms it takes to get there — is useful information that most groomers otherwise only find out after the fact. This tool does that math for you, live, as you log each day.
Everything runs in your browser. You log hours worked, dogs groomed, average price per dog, and tips for each day of the week, pick your salon's pay method and commission tier, and the calculator handles the rest — hourly totals, commission comparisons, and a running goal tracker showing how close you are to commissioning out.
Nothing you enter is sent anywhere. All entries are stored locally in your browser only. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Commission tiers and pay-structure logic are modeled loosely on commonly published grooming-industry pay patterns, including patterns similar to what's publicly described in Petco's grooming career materials.
