How do I get paid as a trainer on trainer.sa?
Last updated:
When does a session count towards your earnings?
You earn from a session once it is complete: when the trainee confirms it, or automatically 24 hours after it ends if nobody reports a problem. The session price has been held on the trainee's card since they sent the request, so you never have to chase a payment.
How much is the commission?
trainer.sa takes a commission of 15% of the price of each completed session, and nothing on requests that are declined or cancelled free of charge. The platform fee (SAR 15 per booking) is paid by the trainee on top of the session price and is not taken from your earnings. You can see a worked example on Join as a trainer.
When are payouts made?
Earnings from your completed sessions are added up and paid weekly to the Saudi bank account (IBAN) registered in your name. Each payout comes with a statement listing every session: its price, the commission and the net amount.
What can delay a payout?
- A report about the session: earnings for that session are held until we finish reviewing the report, then paid to you or refunded to the trainee depending on the outcome.
- Incomplete bank details: make sure your IBAN is correct and in your own name.
- Cancellations: there are no earnings for a session the trainee cancelled for free. For late cancellations, your earnings follow the cancellation terms shown at booking.
Your obligations as an independent trainer
You are an independent trainer, not an employee of trainer.sa, and you are responsible for the legal and tax obligations of your own business. If your bank details change, update them in your trainer dashboard before the next payout.
