Instructor pay calculator
Pay instructors per class or a percentage
Enter your class price, how many classes the instructor teaches a month and the rate for each model. The calculator shows what the instructor earns and what the studio keeps under both models side by side.
No account or email needed. The numbers you enter stay in your browser and are not sent anywhere. This is a planning calculation, not legal, tax or financial advice.
How it is calculated
Monthly class revenue = price per class × classes per monthPercentage model = class revenue × rate / 100Fixed model = pay per class × classes per monthBreak-even price = pay per class × 100 / rate
Reading the result
- If your class price is above the break-even price, the percentage model pays the instructor more. In months with discounts, a fixed rate protects the instructor.
- Tax, payroll costs and cancelled classes are not included. Ask your accountant about payroll.
- For group classes, enter the total revenue of the class instead of a single price.
How this works in Corenta
- A completed class becomes the instructor's earning, and your cancellation and no-show rule applies to pay as well.
- You choose a percentage or a fixed rate per instructor. Paid earnings are locked.
- You decide person by person who sees the money and who records payments.
Questions people ask
Pay instructors per class or a percentage
How do studios pay pilates instructors?
The two common ways are a percentage of class revenue or a fixed amount per class. This calculator shows both for the same month side by side.
Which model is fairer?
There is no single answer. A percentage moves with your prices; a fixed rate does not. The break-even price shows at which class price both models pay the same.
Do instructors get paid for cancelled classes?
This calculator does not count cancellations. In Corenta a completed class becomes an earning, and cancelled classes follow your studio's cancellation rule.
