How Commission Is Calculated
Commission is simply a percentage of the sale amount paid out to whoever closed the deal. If there's a base salary involved, it's added on top of the commission to give total earnings — common in sales roles that pay a smaller guaranteed wage plus performance-based commission on every sale made.
Formula Used
Commission = Sale Amount × Rate ÷ 100
Total Earnings = Commission + Base Salary
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a typical commission rate?+
It varies widely by industry. Real estate often runs 5–6%, retail sales roles are commonly 5–15%, while high-ticket B2B sales can range from 10% up to 20% or more.
Does base salary affect the commission amount?+
No, commission is calculated purely on the sale amount and rate. Base salary is simply added afterward to show total take-home earnings for the period.
