Templates for Notaries & Loan Signing Agents.
Profit, fee, and tax tools for mobile notaries and loan signing agents — built to show what each signing actually netted after printing, gas, time, and the platform's cut. Run the money side of signing work from one connected file you own.
Know what each signing actually kept
A signing fee looks different once you subtract the printing, the drive, the hour at the table, and whatever the signing service or platform keeps. Two offers with the same fee can net very different amounts, and invoices that sit unpaid for weeks are easy to lose track of. The tools here keep your net per signing, the minimum fee worth accepting, which companies pay and how fast, and the year-end split between notarial-act fees and signing-agent fees in one place.
Never pinned down your real number? Start free with the loan-signing profit calculator — enter one signing's fee, printing, mileage, and time, no signup — then read what a loan signing agent is and how the fee is split.
Deciding how to run it? Weigh a spreadsheet vs a notary scheduling app for the way you actually take orders.

A note on the legal and tax framing. The tax split here is a conservative estimate to confirm with a tax preparer, not tax advice. State notary fee maximums vary, and some states set none, so check yours. Many states prescribe their own journal, and a printable record of notarial acts does not replace a state-required journal. The IRS standard mileage rate changes by year, so look up the rate for your tax year. These tools are not affiliated with or endorsed by any signing service, title company, notary association, or the IRS.
