How to use the Commission Calculator
- Enter the sale amount.
- Enter the commission rate.
- For tiered plans, set the threshold and the higher rate.
- Optionally add your base salary for the period.
What does this tool do?
Sales, real estate and recruitment roles often pay commission as a percentage of the sale. Tiered plans pay a higher rate on the portion above a threshold — only that portion, not the whole sale.
Why use it?
- Check your commission statement.
- Compare job offers with different plans.
- See your effective commission rate.
Example: tiered commission
Sales of $25,000 with 5% up to $20,000 and 8% above it: 5% of $20,000 is $1,000 and 8% of the remaining $5,000 is $400, so the commission is $1,400 — an effective rate of 5.6%.
The formula
Flat: Commission = Sale × Rate
Tiered: Threshold × Rate₁ + (Sale − Threshold) × Rate₂
