How to Calculate Sales Commission

Most sales commission structures are based on a percentage of the total revenue generated. Our calculator helps you determine your total take-home pay by combining your base salary with your earned commission.

Common Sales Pay Structures

  • Base Salary + Commission: A fixed reliable income plus a performance bonus.
  • Straight Commission: Income based solely on sales performance (no base salary).
  • Tiered Commission: The percentage rate increases as you hit higher sales milestones.
  • Draw Against Commission: An advance on future commissions to provide steady cash flow.

Why Performance Incentives Matter

Commission-based pay aligns the interests of the salesperson with the company. It motivates high performance and ensures that the best-performing team members are rewarded fairly for the value they bring to the business.
