How Veterinary ProSal Compensation Works
A plain-English guide to salary guarantees, production percentages, and how veterinary production-based compensation is commonly compared.
What is ProSal?
ProSal is a veterinary compensation approach combining a guaranteed salary component with production-based compensation. The details vary: eligible revenue, production rates, reconciliation timing, and treatment of shortfalls depend on your contract.

The basic idea
Many veterinary compensation plans combine a guaranteed salary or draw with a percentage of eligible production. The exact terms vary by employer and contract, so the agreement controls the final calculation.
The estimated production amount is then compared with the guaranteed compensation for the same period.
What to identify in your agreement
- Annual salary guarantee or draw
- Production percentage
- What counts as eligible production
- Monthly, quarterly, or annual reconciliation schedule
- Whether negative accrual applies
- Any exclusions, tiers, or adjustments
Why the period matters
A $120,000 annual guarantee equals $10,000 per month before considering production-based compensation. If a plan reconciles quarterly, the comparable guarantee for that period is $30,000.
