How the Sales Commission Calculator works
Enter your sales and commission rate. For a tiered plan, add the sales level where a higher rate starts and that rate: like tax brackets, the higher rate applies only to sales above the threshold. Add a base salary to see total pay, and the effective rate shows commission as a share of all sales.
Formulas
Flat
commission = sales × rate
Tiered
commission = threshold × rate₁ + (sales − threshold) × rate₂
Examples
Tiered
5% up to 20,000 and 10% above: 1,000 + 3,000 = 4,000 on 50,000 in sales — an effective rate of 8%.

It depends on your plan. Enter the amount your plan pays on — sales, gross profit or margin.
What about draws against commission?
Subtract the draw from the commission yourself; plans that recover draws vary.
Is my pay information stored?
