Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tiered commission structure?
A tiered commission structure pays different rates for different portions of sales. For example, the first $10,000 may earn 5%, the next $10,000 earns 7%, and anything above earns 10%.
How is effective rate calculated?
Effective rate is your total commission earned divided by your total sales amount, expressed as a percentage. It shows your true average commission rate.
Can I customize the tiers?
Yes. When you select tiered commission, you can edit the tier breakpoints and rates to match your specific compensation plan.
Does this include bonuses or draws?
No, this calculator focuses on commission earnings. Bonuses, draws, and other incentives should be calculated separately.
