Commission Calculator
Work out commission earned from sales value and a commission rate percentage.
Formula
Commission = sales value multiplied by commission rate divided by 100.
How it works
Multiply the value of sales closed by the agreed commission percentage. Tiered or capped deals need a separate calculation per tier, but this flat-rate version covers most simple agreements.
FAQs
Is commission paid on revenue or profit?
Usually revenue, but check the agreement: some deals pay on collected cash or on profit instead.
What about returns?
Returned sales are often clawed back, so confirm whether commission is adjusted when a sale is refunded.
Can rates be tiered?
Yes. Calculate each tier separately and add the results for the total.
