Performance pay is just math

Pay More Than Your Competition. Keep Your Labor Costs ≤ 20%. Retain Your Best Technicians.

A pay plan that's working shows up in the ticket. Your best techs close bigger jobs on the same calls and take home dramatically more. Reward them for it with a higher base, and your labor cost still lands right at 20%.

Uses the same assumptions as the plans above: 18 calls a week (8 service, 8 simple, 2 complex) at 3% · 10% · 13% commissions, plus maintenance spiffs. Ticket sizes scale between the entry and senior examples, and base pay is whatever your labor target leaves after commissions.

Like these numbers? We'll turn them into your actual plan on a 15-minute call.

The ticket is what grows

Same calls, same rates. The senior tech simply closes a bigger ticket on each one, so the same 18 weekly calls generate more revenue and fund a higher base rate.

As a technician's average ticket grows, the same weekly calls generate more revenue. That headroom funds a higher base rate, so a tech can earn anywhere from $100,000 up to $152,995.60 while labor cost holds at 20%.
