Paying teachers is the admin job most studios still do in a spreadsheet, reconciling who taught what against attendance at the end of the month. It's slow, it's error-prone, and it's exactly the kind of counting software should do.
yoganear.me builds teacher pay into the schedule itself. You set how each teacher is paid, and the system calculates what they're owed from the classes they actually taught, including cover, so payroll is a report you read rather than a puzzle you assemble.
Four ways to pay, per class
Every studio pays teachers differently, so yoganear.me supports four models: a flat fee per class, a percentage of what the class earned, a fixed fee plus a bonus, or a salary. You set the model per teacher, and pay is worked out from the real classes on the schedule.
Because pay is tied to occurrences, a percentage model tracks the actual revenue of each class, and a flat fee applies cleanly to each session taught. There's no separate tally to keep.
Substitutes credited to whoever taught
When a substitute covers a class, pay follows the person who actually taught it, not the one originally scheduled. That precedence is handled automatically per occurrence, so cover never quietly pays the wrong teacher or double-counts a session.
This is where spreadsheets usually break — a swapped teacher on one Tuesday — and it's the case yoganear.me is built to get right without you remembering to adjust anything.
Payroll you can read at a glance
At the end of a pay period, teacher earnings are there as a report: who taught, how much each class earned them, and what they're owed. You review it rather than rebuild it, which turns a monthly chore into a few minutes.
Roles keep it appropriate: sensitive pay-rate amounts are only visible to the people who should see them, so you can give teachers and front-desk staff the access they need without exposing everyone's numbers.
One fee, capped every month
There's no subscription and no setup fee. You pay 2.5% per booking, capped at $99 a month, so quiet months cost less and busy months never cost more than the cap. Card processing from PayPal or Stripe applies on top, as it does on any platform.
Frequently asked questions
What teacher pay models are supported?
Four: a flat fee per class, a percentage of the class's revenue, a fixed fee plus a bonus, or a salary. You set the model per teacher and pay is calculated from the classes they taught.
How is a substitute teacher paid?
Pay follows whoever actually taught the class. When a substitute covers a session, the system credits them rather than the originally scheduled teacher, handled automatically per class.
Do I still need a spreadsheet for payroll?
No. Teacher earnings are calculated from the schedule and presented as a report: who taught, what each class earned them, and what they're owed. You review it instead of assembling it.
Can I hide pay rates from some staff?
Yes. Sensitive pay-rate amounts are visible only to roles that should see them, so you can give teachers and front-desk staff appropriate access without exposing everyone's pay.
