Commission Calculator
Frequently Asked Questions
How is commission calculated?
Commission is calculated by multiplying your total sales amount by the commission rate you enter. For example, a 5% commission on $10,000 in sales results in $500 in commission earnings.
Does this commission calculator include taxes?
No. This calculator shows gross commission and total pay before taxes. Tax withholding varies by location and employment type and is not included in the calculation.
Can I include a base salary?
Yes. If your compensation plan includes a fixed base salary, you can enter it as an optional value. The calculator will add it to your commission to show total pay.
Is this calculator accurate for different commission structures?
This tool is designed for simple, flat-rate commission structures. Tiered commissions, quotas, draws, or caps are not currently supported.
Why does my actual commission differ from this result?
Differences may occur due to commission caps, chargebacks, payout timing, taxes, or employer-specific compensation rules not reflected in this simplified calculation.
