Dental clinic payroll and doctor commissions
Commission arguments are rarely about the percentage. They are about what it was applied to, and they only stop when the dentist can see the treatments behind the number.

Commission is calculated from the operations each doctor actually performed, with lab fees, refunds, discounts and inventory usage deducted against the case that produced them.
Paid from the records, not from a spreadsheet
Every clinic that calculates commission by hand ends up with two versions of the truth: the system’s and the spreadsheet’s. Calculating from the invoices and payments already recorded removes the reconciliation, and removes the argument with it.
- Commission per doctor on production or on collections
- Per-procedure rates where a flat percentage does not fit
- Base salary plus commission, with the floor guaranteed
- Deductions itemised — lab costs, materials, advances
- Everything drawn from treatments and payments already in the system
A statement, not a number
What ends disputes is not a fairer percentage, it is a payslip that can be audited line by line. Every treatment in the period, what it invoiced, what was collected, what was deducted and why.
- Payslip listing the treatments behind the figure
- Lab invoices attached to the deductions they justify
- The same statement reproducible months later, when somebody asks
- Issued in Arabic or English
The rest of payroll
Dentists are not the only people a clinic pays, and the others need the ordinary things: attendance, leave, overtime and advances, feeding the same monthly run.
- Attendance and shifts feeding hours worked
- Leave balances, overtime and unpaid days
- Salary advances recovered across later months
- Per-branch payroll, because staff belong to a location
- Payroll cost visible against branch revenue, not after it
Who payroll serves
Payroll is where the clinic’s relationships with its people are settled every month, which is why transparency is worth more than speed.
Dentists
Receives a statement they can check rather than a figure they have to trust.
Administrators
Runs the month from records already entered instead of rebuilding them.
By hand, and with Dentolize

Questions
Salaries — frequently asked
Can Dentolize calculate doctor commissions?
Yes, per doctor, on production or collections, with per-procedure rates and a base salary where that is the arrangement.
Are lab costs deducted before commission?
They can be, and the underlying lab invoice is attached to the deduction — an unexplained deduction costs more in trust than it saves.
Does payroll use attendance?
Yes. Shifts, overtime and unpaid days feed the monthly run, so hours are not re-entered.
Can staff see their own payslip?
Yes, with the treatments and deductions behind it, in Arabic or English.
Is payroll separated per branch?
Yes. Staff belong to a branch, and payroll cost is visible against that branch’s revenue.
