FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about tracking pay and taxes across studios with ClassTally.
- What is ClassTally?
- ClassTally is a pay- and tax-tracking app for fitness instructors who teach at more than one studio. It tracks what you should have earned, whether each studio actually paid you, and what you'll owe in taxes — all in one place.
- Who is ClassTally for?
- Group-fitness instructors, personal trainers, and yoga or Pilates teachers who work across multiple studios or gyms — especially anyone paid as a 1099 contractor with income coming in on different rates and schedules.
- How does ClassTally track my pay?
- You add each studio with its pay rate and schedule, then confirm the classes you taught each week. ClassTally calculates what you should have earned and shows it on an earnings dashboard, so you always know where you stand.
- Can it handle different pay structures?
- Yes. ClassTally supports flat-per-class, per-student, hourly, revenue-share, flat-plus-per-student, and retainer pay — so each studio can be set up exactly how it actually pays you.
- Does ClassTally help me catch missed or short payments?
- Yes. Pro reconciliation puts expected pay next to the deposits you actually received, so underpayments and missed payments are easy to spot instead of slipping through the cracks.
- Does ClassTally calculate my taxes?
- Pro estimates your quarterly taxes — self-employment, federal, and state — based on your tracked income and expenses, so you can set money aside before it's due. You can also try the free tax calculator without an account.
- Is there a free version?
- Yes. The free plan covers up to two studios and the core class log, calendar, and earnings dashboard. Pro is $2.99/mo or $29.99/yr and adds unlimited studios, reconciliation, tax estimates, and more.
- Does it work on my phone, even offline?
- Yes. ClassTally installs to your phone like an app and works offline, so you can confirm classes right after you teach them — no signal required.
- How is this different from a spreadsheet?
- A spreadsheet can't reconcile deposits against what you were owed, estimate your quarterly taxes, log mileage at IRS rates, or follow you offline on your phone. ClassTally does the math and the tracking so you don't rebuild a fragile spreadsheet every year.
