Flat vs. Tiered Commission

A flat rate commission applies the same percentage to all sales. A tiered structure applies increasing rates as sales pass certain thresholds — common in sales roles to reward higher performance. This calculator supports both.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does tiered commission work exactly?

Each portion of your sales that falls within a tier is paid at that tier's rate, not your entire sales total at the highest rate you reached, this calculator applies each tier correctly to the relevant portion only.

What is 'effective commission rate'?

It's your total commission divided by total sales, expressed as a percentage, useful for comparing a tiered plan's overall payout rate against a flat-rate offer.

Does this include base salary?

No, this calculates commission only. Add any base salary separately to find your total compensation.
