Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for busy business owners.
How do I calculate a commission?
Commission = sale amount × rate ÷ 100. On a $10,000 sale at 10%, commission is $1,000.
What is a typical commission rate?
Sales roles commonly earn 5–15% depending on industry, deal size and whether a base salary is included.
Should commission be on revenue or profit?
Profit-based commissions protect margins but are harder to verify. Many businesses use revenue for simplicity with a floor-margin rule.
