Pro Commission Structure

The bigger the job, the lower the rate

Pro uses a regressive commission structure. Each band applies only to that portion of the job value — so your effective rate naturally decreases as jobs get larger.

Job value band
Commission rate
Fee on that band
£0 – £100
12%
up to £12
£101 – £300
10%
up to £20
£301 – £750
8%
up to £36
£751 – £1,500
6%
up to £45
£1,501+
4%
4% on the rest

Commission bands are applied in tiers — only the portion within each band is charged at that rate. Not the full job value.

Why this model

Aligned incentives. No hidden costs.

🤝

We earn when you earn

No monthly subscription means we're only rewarded when you complete paid work. Our success is genuinely tied to yours.

📈

More work, lower rate

Pro's regressive structure means your effective commission rate falls as job value rises — rewarding the tradespeople who deliver higher-value work.

📋

No surprise charges

The commission is shown clearly before payment is confirmed. No hidden processing fees, no surprise deductions. What you see is what you pay.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, both Starter and Pro are free to join and have no monthly subscription. You only pay a commission after a job is completed and payment is released through CTRON.
The commission is deducted automatically when payment is released to you after the homeowner confirms the job is complete. It’s handled through Stripe so you always receive your net amount directly.
Pro splits each job into value bands. Only the portion of the job within each band is charged at that band’s rate — similar to how income tax brackets work. So for a £1,000 job: the first £100 is 12%, the next £200 is 10%, the next £450 is 8%, and the remaining £250 is 6%. Your effective rate will be lower than 12% on any job over £100.
Both plans are free. Starter charges a flat 15% commission on every job, regardless of value. Pro uses a regressive structure (4–12%) that becomes more favourable as job values increase — along with priority placement, an enhanced profile, and an earnings dashboard.
Yes. You can switch plans at any time from your account settings. There’s no penalty or lock-in period.
Posting a job and collecting quotes is always free. When you choose to book through CTRON, a small service fee is added at checkout — shown clearly before you confirm. This covers the secure payment infrastructure and Stripe processing.
