Sales Commission Calculator

How to use the Sales Commission Calculator

Calculate a flat-rate commission on an entered sales base. Use the commissionable sales amount specified by your agreement.

Formula

Commission = sales × rate / 100; revenue after commission = sales − commission.

Worked example

$8,000 commissionable sales at 7.5% produce $600 commission and $7,400 remaining revenue.

Interpretation and limitations

The remaining revenue is not net profit. This tool does not model tiers, quotas, caps, clawbacks or exclusions for tax and refunds.

Sales Commission questions

Should the base include tax or shipping?

Use the definition in the commission agreement; this calculator does not determine which amounts are commissionable.

Can I calculate tiered commissions here?

Calculate each tier separately and add the commissions. Applying the top rate to all sales may overstate the amount.

Continue your calculation

For the next step, use the Net Profit Margin Calculator or the Revenue Calculator. Review each tool’s input definitions before carrying a result into another calculation.
