Tiered commission example
With $120,000 in sales, a $50,000 Tier 1 threshold at 5%, a $100,000 Tier 2 threshold at 7%, and a 10% Tier 3 rate, commission is $2,500 + $3,500 + $2,000 = $8,000.
About this calculator
Flat commission
The same commission percentage applies to the full sales amount. Optional base pay is added to commission for estimated total compensation.
Tiered commission
Different portions of sales are paid at different rates as sales increase. Each tier rate applies only to sales within that tier.
Quota and accelerator
The standard rate applies up to quota. A higher accelerator rate applies only to sales above quota.
Confirm your compensation plan
Commission plans vary widely. Use this calculator to model a plan, then confirm the actual compensation rules that apply to your organization.
