Frequently asked questions
How is sales commission calculated?
Multiply your sales amount by the commission rate as a percentage. On $50,000 in sales at 8%, the commission is $4,000. Add any flat bonus or base pay for total earnings; this tool does all of that at once.
What is base plus commission?
A pay structure with a fixed salary (the base) plus commission on top. It gives a steady floor while still rewarding sales. Straight commission has no base, you earn only on what you sell, which this calculator also handles by leaving base at zero.
Can it handle tiered commission?
This tool uses a single flat rate. For tiered plans, where sales above a threshold earn a higher rate, calculate each tier's sales at its rate separately and add the results. The flat-rate result is exact for the common single-rate plan.
About this tool
The sales commission calculator works out total earnings from a sales figure and commission rate, plus any flat bonus and base pay. It shows the commission on sales, the bonus-plus-base, your total, and the effective rate. Your total as a percentage of sales, which is useful for comparing plans. It handles a single flat rate; tiered plans (a higher rate above a quota) can be figured tier by tier and added. Everything is calculated in your browser.
