Frequently Asked Questions about the Commission Calculator
What is the difference between flat-rate and tiered commission?
Flat-rate pays the same percentage on every dollar of sales. Tiered pays one rate up to a threshold, then a higher rate on sales above it, and so on. Tiered plans reward exceeding quota and are common in B2B sales.
How does a base salary plus commission plan work?
You earn a fixed salary regardless of sales, plus a commission percentage on what you sell. The calculator adds them together to show total pay and the effective rate of total pay over sales.
What is a rep / house split?
Some plans (especially in real estate and recruiting) split the commission between the rep and the company. A 70 / 30 split means the rep keeps 70% and the house keeps 30%. The calculator multiplies the gross commission by your rep share.
What does blended commission rate mean?
On a tiered plan, blended rate is your total commission divided by your total sales. It is always between the lowest and highest tier rate and tells you the effective commission across the whole deal.
Why do the tiers need to be sorted?
Tiers represent progressive brackets, so they need to start at zero and increase. Out-of-order or overlapping bounds make the per-tier amounts ambiguous, so the calculator rejects them and asks you to fix the ordering.
