Frequently asked questions
How is commission calculated?
Multiply the sale amount by the commission rate: a 3% commission on a $500,000 sale is $15,000. The tool handles flat and tiered rates.
What is a tiered commission?
A structure where the rate changes across bands of sales — for example a lower rate up to a threshold and a higher rate above it — to reward stronger performance.
Is commission on revenue or profit?
It depends on your agreement — some pay on the sale price, others on gross profit. Enter whichever base applies.
