Commission Calculator

Work out commission from your sales. Use one flat rate for every sale, or two rates, with the higher one applying only to sales above a level you set.

How it works

A flat rate pays the sales times the rate, divided by 100.

With two rates, the first rate applies to sales up to the level, and the higher rate applies only to the sales above it. The two parts are added together. Type in the rates and level your own plan sets, since plans differ.

Worked example

Sales of $25,000.00 earn $1,250.00 in commission, which is 5% of the total sales.

Questions

Is commission taxed?

Usually it is treated as wages, so income tax and other withholdings can apply. Your pay slips show the actual amount held back.

What if my plan has more than two levels?

This tool handles two rates. For more steps, work out each band separately and add the results together.

Is the level set per sale or on the total?

This tool applies the level to the total sales you enter. If your plan works sale by sale, enter one sale at a time.
