How to Structure Auto & Motorcycle Mechanic Commissions (Labor % vs. Parts Flat Fee) Without Margin Leakage
Learn the 4-bucket workshop commission formula covering Labor, Parts/Fluids, Prepaid Member Redemptions, and Lounge Add-Ons—complete with automated advance (kasbon) deductions.
Paying a flat 35% commission on total invoice value destroys shop profit whenever expensive tires, batteries, or synthetic oils are installed. Separating labor percentage shares from fixed part-installation incentives protects your parts cost (HPP).
1. Separate High-Margin Labor from Thin-Margin Spare Parts
Pure labor jobs like CVT servicing, brake bleeding, or full interior detailing carry 85%–95% gross margin, making a 30%–40% technician revenue share sustainable and motivating.
By contrast, car batteries, tires, and OEM brake pads carry high wholesale cost. Assigning a fixed per-unit installation fee ensures technicians are rewarded for thorough inspections without eroding part margins.
- Labor (`jasa_servis`): Percentage share (e.g., 30%–40%) or flat per-vehicle rate.
- Parts & Oil (`sparepart_oli`): Fixed installation bonus so wholesale part cost stays protected.
- Prepaid Member Visits (`package_redemption`): Credits the technician using `packageSessionValue` even when cashier checkout is $0.
- Advance (`Kasbon`) Deduction: Automatically deducts staff advances from weekly gross commissions.
Ready-to-Use Shop Checklist
- Configure separate Labor and Parts commission rules per technician profile.
- Set `packageSessionValue` on every multi-visit wash or oil-change bundle.
- Record staff cash advances immediately so weekly net payouts stay accurate.
