Charge your own price for one session
Type a total for one session, for example a rounded price, and it's charged instead of the calculated amount.
For tutors. Updated October 2026.
Where to find it
Calendar, then the session, then Total
Total is on a new session too.
Steps
Open the session, or start a new one.
In Total, type the amount you want to charge.
A Custom tag shows beside Total, and a button under it puts the calculated amount back.
Press Save changes, or Add session for a new one.
An example
Sara's Physics session is 1 h 30 min at AED 220 an hour. You agree a round AED 300 with her family:
- Calculated total
- AED 330
- Your total
- AED 300
What happens next
- The session counts as AED 300 in Earned and To invoice, and goes on its invoice for AED 300.
What parents see
- On the invoice, the session's rate reads Custom total and its amount is your AED 300.
Good to know
- Your total is charged whatever the session becomes: completed, a late cancellation or a no-show.
- Cancelling the session clears it, because a cancelled session isn't charged.
- With Repeat weekly, the total applies to the first session only. Later weeks use the calculated amount.
- Reset to AED 330 puts the calculated amount back.
- To charge a different rate for every session of a student, give them their own hourly rate instead.
If something's not right
"On invoice INV-2026-0003. The total can't be changed."
The session is on an invoice, so its total is locked. Cancel the invoice, change the total, then invoice the session again.
"A cancelled session isn't charged, so it can't have a total."
Press Reopen on the session first, then type the total and mark it again.
