How to split commission with agents and give them statements

Set each agent's cut, split a deal between several agents, and see each agent's monthly statement and payroll export.

Up to date as of GigTools version 2.1.142

On the Agency plan, the commission on each deal can be split between the house and the agents who worked it. Each agent gets a statement; owners and admins see everyone and export it for payroll.

1. Set each agent's cut

  • Usual cut: on Commissions, under Commission settings, set Agents' usual cut of commission (%), like 50. The rest stays with the house.
  • One agent's own cut: Settings › Organization, Team tab, under Agents and territories, set their Cut (%) and click Save. Blank uses the usual cut.

2. Who's on a deal

  • By default the agent assigned to the gig gets the whole deal (see How territories and ownership work).
  • To share it, open the gig and, under Money, find Agents on this deal. Click Split between agents, choose each agent and their share (like 50% and 50%), and click Save split. Shares under 100% leave the rest to the house. Clear split goes back to the assigned agent.

Each agent earns: commission × their share of the deal × their cut. The commission itself comes from the gig, the act's representation agreement, the act, or your usual percent (see How to track commission).

3. See what each agent earned

On Commissions, click Agents' commission. Pick a month (or a whole year). You see the commission, the agents' part and what the house keeps, then each agent with their deals and earnings. Gigs with no agent show how much commission the house kept on them.

Click an agent for their statement: each deal's date, gig, act, client, fee, commission, share, cut and what they earned, with a total. Click Print or save as PDF to send it.

4. Payroll export

Click Payroll export (CSV) for a spreadsheet of the month: one row per deal and agent, with the amounts. From an agent's statement it exports just theirs.

5. For agents

Agents see My commission under Money in the menu: their own statement, by month. They don't see other agents' earnings.
