Understanding Commission Calculations
Commission pay is commonly calculated as a percentage of eligible sales, revenue or profit, but compensation plans can use very different rules. A simple example is 5% commission on ,000 of eligible sales, which equals ,000. Some plans include thresholds, tiers, accelerators, caps, draws, split commissions or different rates by product. Returns and cancellations may also reduce the commissionable amount. When using a calculator, enter the base amount that your actual plan defines as commissionable rather than assuming gross revenue is always used. If a plan has multiple tiers, calculate each tier according to its own range and rate. The result from a general calculator is an estimate; payroll taxes, deductions, timing rules and employer-specific policies can make the final amount on a pay statement different.
Simple and Tiered Commission
A simple commission multiplies the eligible sales amount by one rate. Tiered plans can apply different rates to different portions of sales, so applying the highest rate to the entire amount can overstate earnings. Calculate each tier separately when a compensation plan uses thresholds.
Commissionable Amount and Adjustments
Contracts may define commission on gross sales, net revenue, collected revenue or profit. Returns, cancellations, chargebacks, caps, draws and split commissions can change the final payment. Use the base amount and rules specified by the actual plan.
