Commission Calculator
Estimate flat-rate or tiered commission, include base pay, and calculate your share after a commission split.
Your estimate
Commission by tier

Amounts are before taxes, deductions, clawbacks and fees. All inputs must refer to the same period.
How commission is calculated
A flat commission multiplies eligible sales by the agreed rate. At a 5% rate, 30,000 in eligible sales produces 1,500 in gross commission. If your agreement pays on profit rather than revenue, use the eligible profit as the calculation base.
Progressive tiers
With the example tiers, the first 10,000 earns 3%, the next 15,000 earns 5%, and sales above 25,000 earn 8%. For 30,000 in sales, the total is 300 + 750 + 400 = 1,450. This is a marginal calculation: the highest rate does not apply to all sales.
Base pay and commission splits
Your commission share equals gross commission multiplied by your split percentage. Estimated gross earnings equal that share plus base pay. A 70% share of 1,500 is 1,050; adding 2,000 in base pay gives 3,050 before deductions.
How do I find the commission rate?
Rate = gross commission ÷ eligible sales × 100. Sales must be greater than zero. Use commission before any split and exclude salary or bonuses.
How much must I sell to earn a target commission?
Required sales = target gross commission ÷ (rate ÷ 100). This reverse mode assumes a flat, positive rate and excludes base pay and splits. A zero rate cannot determine a unique sales target.
Does this support every commission plan?
No. The tiered mode supports three percentage-based progressive bands. Retroactive rates on all sales, recoverable draws, fixed tier bonuses, caps, refunds and clawbacks are not included. Check your compensation agreement.
Are these take-home earnings?
No. Results are gross estimates before tax and other deductions. Currency selection changes formatting only. Calculations keep full precision internally, so individually rounded tier amounts may differ slightly from the rounded total.
