Summary

Supports common commission pay plans. Use Show Work to verify the math and bracket allocation.

Quick examples
  • Percent: $25,000 × 8% = $2,000
  • Tiered: $10k at 5% + $15k at 8% = $500 + $1,200
  • Base + %: $600 + ($25,000 × 7.5%)
  • Draw: Commission − draw (and prior balance if any)

Reference

  • Percent model: Commission = Sales × (Rate ÷ 100)
  • Tiered model: Commission = Σ (TierAmount × TierRate)
  • Base + %: Total Pay = Base + Commission
  • Recoverable draw: Net Pay = Commission − (Draw + PriorBalance)

FAQ

What’s the difference between tiered and “flat” commission?

Flat uses one rate for all sales. Tiered uses different rates for different sales ranges.

What is a recoverable draw?

A draw is an advance. If recoverable, it’s deducted from commissions until paid back.

Does this include taxes or deductions?

No — this tool only calculates commission math. Taxes and deductions vary by situation.
