Commission Calculator

Commission is the sale amount multiplied by the rate as a decimal. For a 10,000 sale at 5 percent, that is 10,000 times 0.05, which is 500. The tool does this multiplication and rounds the result to two decimal places.

Type your fixed base into the Base salary field. Total earnings are the base plus the commission, so a 2,000 base alongside a 500 commission gives 2,500. Leave the field at zero for a commission-only plan.

Not directly, because it applies one flat rate to the whole sale. For a tiered plan, run the calculator once for each tier at its own rate on that tier's portion of the sale, then add the commissions together.

The tool multiplies whatever amount you enter by the rate, so enter the gross profit instead of the sale price if your plan pays on margin. It has no separate cost field, so you would compute the profit first.

You can switch the currency from the menu, and the results are formatted with that currency's symbol and two decimal places. Changing the currency only relabels the numbers, it does not convert exchange rates.

Rates vary widely by industry. Many sales roles fall between 5 and 20 percent, while real estate and high-ticket deals often sit lower. Always use the exact rate from your own compensation plan.

This is a gross figure before income tax and deductions. Commission is usually taxed as ordinary income, and some employers withhold it at a supplemental rate, so your take-home pay will be lower than the total shown.

The sale amount and base accept values up to 1,000,000 and the rate goes up to 100 percent. Negative numbers are not allowed, since a sale, rate and salary are all non-negative.

No. The calculation runs in your browser, so the sale figures and salary you enter stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
