How this is calculated
3 services × $150 = $450 a month — about 30% of your $1,500 monthly service spend.
$450 × 12 = $5,400 a year.
Illustrative estimate only — not guaranteed savings, and not money paid out by TradeNeighbor. It reflects cash you keep in the business when a service is traded instead of purchased.

The core idea
Your unused capacity has value.
Trade the time you were never going to sell for something you would have bought with cash.
An empty barber chair
A quiet Tuesday afternoon costs you nothing to fill.
An open detailing appointment
The bay is already staffed — the slot is pure capacity.
A photographer's unused weekday
Weekdays between shoots are inventory you can't store.
A cleaner's open afternoon
One unbooked crew hour is one hour you can trade.
A trainer's open session
An empty slot on the schedule never comes back.
A groomer's cancellation
A last-minute gap becomes something you needed anyway.

Trade Balance carries the difference
Unequal values become future service value between you two.
How Trade Balance works
No credits. No marketplace currency. Just a private ledger between you and each partner.
Most trades are equal in value. When they aren't, Trade Balance automatically remembers the remaining value between the same two businesses until it is large enough to redeem in a future trade.
Trade Balance is not a marketplace-wide currency. It is a private running balance between the same two trading businesses and can only be redeemed for services from that specific business.
Example 1 — equal value
Balance $0Barber
Haircut · $50
Pet Groomer
Grooming · $100
Agreed trade
- • Barber provides 2 haircuts ($100)
- • Pet Groomer provides 1 grooming ($100)
Trade complete · Trade Balance: $0
Businesses are encouraged to create equal-value trades whenever practical. When values don't align perfectly, Trade Balance keeps track of the remaining value between those two businesses.

Balances never expire and never auto-spend. Businesses may choose to apply all, some, or none of their available Trade Balance during any future trade — any remaining value stays attached to that trading relationship until it's used.
