Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a commission-only vs. base salary + commission structure?
In a commission-only plan, your entire income comes from the commissions you earn on sales. In a base salary + commission structure, you receive a guaranteed, fixed salary regardless of sales, plus a variable commission on top of that for the sales you generate.
What is a tiered commission?
Tiered commission is a structure where the commission rate increases as a salesperson achieves higher sales targets. For example, they might earn 5% on the first $50,000 in sales, 7% on sales between $50,001 and $100,000, and 10% on all sales above $100,000. This calculator uses a flat rate, not a tiered structure.
Is commission calculated on revenue or profit?
This depends entirely on the company's compensation plan. Most often, commission is calculated on the total **revenue** of the sale. However, some companies, especially those with variable product costs, may calculate commission on the **gross profit** of the sale to ensure all sales are profitable for the company.
