• With base payA 5,000 sale at 8% is a 400 commission; with 1,000 base pay, total pay is 1,400.
• Commission onlyA 2,000 sale at 10% pays 200, with no base.
• Higher rateRaising the rate from 8% to 10% on a 5,000 sale lifts the commission from 400 to 500.

Commission is a percentage of the sale: commission = sale x rate / 100. Total pay adds any base pay on top: total = commission + base pay. With no base pay, total pay equals the commission.

You enter a sale amount, a commission rate, and an optional base pay. The tool returns the commission and the total pay. It assumes a single flat rate applied to the whole sale amount.

Leave base pay at 0 for commission only, or add it for a base-plus-commission plan. Use the sale amount the plan actually pays on, whether that is revenue, gross profit, or units sold in value.

The main limitation is that this is a flat rate; it does not handle tiered rates, accelerators, caps, or splits. A common mistake is applying the rate to total revenue when the plan pays on gross profit. This is an educational estimate to help you plan and price, not financial, accounting, or tax advice. Check the figures against your own records or a qualified professional before a real decision.

Does it handle tiered commission?

No. It uses a single flat rate. For tiers, calculate each band separately and add the results.

What sale amount should I use?

Use the base your plan pays on, which may be revenue, gross profit, or another figure. Be consistent.

Is base pay required?

No. Leave it at 0 for commission only; add it for a base-plus-commission plan.

Does it deduct tax?

No. It shows gross commission and total pay before any tax or deductions.
