Sales Commission Calculator
Work out commission earnings from a base salary, total sales, a commission rate and a quota that commission only applies above. It shows the commission itself, total earnings and the effective commission rate across all your sales, not just the amount above quota.
Commission applies only to sales above the quota. Set the quota to zero for a straight percentage of every sale.

Frequently asked questions
How is commission calculated with a quota?
Commission applies only to sales above the quota. If your quota is £100,000 and you sell £250,000 at an 8 percent rate, commission is 8 percent of the £150,000 above quota, which is £12,000, not 8 percent of the full £250,000.
What if my plan has no quota?
Set the quota to zero and commission will apply to every pound of sales instead of only the amount above a threshold, matching a straight commission-on-all-sales structure.
What is the effective commission rate?
It divides total commission by total sales, giving you the rate as if it applied to every sale rather than only the amount above quota. It is useful for comparing two different quota-and-rate structures on a like-for-like basis.
