What This Calculator Does
This calculator determines sales commission amounts based on revenue, commission rates, and optional tiered structures. It supports flat-rate and tiered commission models used in sales, real estate, and professional services.
The Formula
For flat-rate commissions, multiply the sale amount by the commission percentage. For tiered structures, each tier of revenue is multiplied by its respective rate and summed.
Step-by-Step Example
Enter the sale amount
Input the total revenue or sale value. For example, $50,000 in sales this month.
Set commission rate(s)
Enter a flat rate like 5%, or use tiered rates such as 3% on the first $25K and 5% above that.
Add base salary if applicable
Some roles have a base salary plus commission. Enter the base to see total compensation.
Review results
5% on $50,000 = $2,500 commission.
