Partner Practitioner Commission: Gross or Net?

When a partner practitioner treats patients at your clinic, the commission percentage alone says nothing: 40% of what? Of the gross amount charged to the patient, or of what is left after materials, fees and tax? The difference can be hundreds of reais per appointment. The calculator shows both models side by side.

Nothing leaves your browser. The starting values are a hypothetical example.

What does each field mean?

How is it calculated?

• Net base = amount charged minus materials minus (amount × (fee + tax)).
• Commission on gross = amount × percentage. The clinic absorbs materials, fee and tax.
• Commission on net = net base × percentage. Costs are shared proportionally.
• Clinic's remainder = what is left after the commission in each model.

Worked hypothetical example

Hypothetical example: R$ 2,000.00 charged, 40% commission, R$ 600.00 in materials, a 4% fee and 8% in taxes.

In this example, the difference for the clinic is R$ 336.00 per appointment. For the partner the effect is the opposite: on net they earn much less, which is why they usually ask for a higher percentage in this model.

How do I use the result?

Choose the base before calculating the percentage, not the other way around. Use the material cost per appointment and the real cost per ml with waste to get a realistic materials figure. If the clinic rents out the room by shift, compare with the room cost split, which can be fairer than commission in some arrangements.

Finally, use the minimum price calculator to confirm that the price charged still leaves the clinic a margin after the commission.
