Everything your commercial work generates, organized. SAG and Non-Union. Session fees, holding cycles, residuals, buyouts, conflicts — surfaced before they're due, so you're always ahead of the game.
Every commercial you shoot kicks off a chain of payments that unfolds over months or years. Session fees, holding cycles, use fees, residuals, streaming tiers, conflict windows. Residlio keeps it all in one place — computed from the 2025 SAG Commercials Contract, the same numbers your agent works from.

Dashboard for SAG and non-union
Most working commercial actors book both. Residlio was built to handle both natively, side by side — not siloed.
Built on the 2025 SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract. Rates, cycle logic, and Pension & Health contribution structures are computed directly from the published rate sheet.
How Residlio works
All that you need…
The paperwork already exists. Just type what's on it. Residlio runs the SAG Commercials Contract math and keeps you organized.
Step 1
From the Contract
Two things. Shoot date and spot name — that's it. Residlio takes it from there. Stubs come later.
Step 2
From the Stubs
Type a few answers from your stub into the preset values of the calculator. Residlio does the rest.
Step 3
Get alerts and notifications
Conflict windows closing, holding fees about to expire. Residlio notifies you ahead of time — the best place to be for negotiations.
SAG or non-union
One app. Both sides of the business.
Most working commercial actors take both union and non-union jobs. Most tools force you to manage them separately. Residlio handles both natively.
SAG-AFTRA
Full union contract support
SAG-AFTRA 2025 Commercials Contract rates built into the calculator. Session, holding, use, residuals, streaming — all computed automatically from the contract and stubs you typed in.
✓ Session fees + P&H (23.5% / 19.95% / 40%)
✓ Cycle-by-cycle holding fees
✓ Class A, Wild Spot, Cable, Streaming, YouTube
✓ 24-month max use period tracking
✓ Auto 28% tax set-aside
NON-UNION
Buyouts and usage organized
Non-union gigs have their own rules — flat buyouts, usage terms, exclusivity windows.
“Is this payment right?·What was this for?·When’s my next scheduled payment due?·Does this conflict lock me out?·How much did I really make this year?”
Residlio labels each line by category(session · holding · use · renewal) and tells you what’s due and when. One alert lives on your dashboard for every approaching deadline.
What's in the box
Built for how this business actually works.
SAG 2025 calculator

Conflict calendar
Every active lockout on one calendar. Ask Residlio "can I audition for this?" and see what's free, what's clear-dates-only, and what's blocked.
Holding fee timeline
Every active holding period on a countdown. One alert pinned to your dashboard until you act on it or the window closes.

From the founder
After 30+ years on set, the tool we needed still didn't exist.
I’m Mike Whaley — a working commercial actor, 30+ years in. You’ve seen me in Capital One, Coca-Cola, Walmart, Salesforce, Honey Bunches of Oats, Bud Light, and more. I’m the dad. The neighbor. The friend. The everyman.
Behind every commercial is the part nobody teaches you. You audition, book, shoot, wait — while contracts, usage terms, conflicts, and renewals quietly pile up. You learn it the slow way: wrong assumptions, late follow-ups, a couple of things you wish you’d negotiated differently.
My agent works her whole roster. Somewhere along the way I started keeping my own notes — a spreadsheet, then a folder of contracts, then a working system for what was still earning and what was close to ending. It was my way of carrying my share.
That system became Residlio.
Most working actors are doing some version of this in their heads, in a notebook, or not at all. They shouldn’t have to. The information exists. The contracts are signed. The rates are public. Somebody just had to put it together.
I’m still an actor first — same auditions, same sets, same industry grind. Residlio is the tool I built along the way, for the greenie to the pro and everyone in between.

Questions, answered
FAQ
What data does Residlio store — and what does it never ask for?
Residlio collects deal data — advertiser, session fee, cycle terms, usage, payment amounts, dates. That’s it. No Social Security Number. No EIN. No W-9. No W-4. No bank account or routing number. Your identity paperwork belongs to your payroll house — Residlio only needs the deal, not the paperwork. Can’t leak what we never have.
Does it work for non-union jobs?
Yes, built in from day one — not tacked on. Non-union deals run through the same calculator with flat buyout logic instead of SAG residual formulas. Union and non-union live side by side, same workflow.
Is my data private from my agent?
Your account is yours. Every saved calc stays under your login. Nothing leaves your account by default. If you want to share specific spots with an agent down the road, you can — but only when you choose to.
What if I don’t have an agent?
Residlio works solo. Type your own contract details, type your stubs as they land, run the same 2025 SAG calculator. If you sign with an agency later, your full history comes with you.
Does it cover TV and film?
Not today. Built for commercial work specifically — the most underserved corner of this business. TV and film is on the roadmap for later.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your billing portal in two clicks. No lock-in, no termination fees, no contracts.
