The formula

flat: commission = sales × rate tiered: commission = Σ sales in band × rate for that band

In a tiered plan, a higher rate only touches the sales above the limit below it. Sales exactly on a limit stay in the lower band.

What to watch out for

Choose the commission type, then enter your sales. For a tiered plan, enter the top of each band and its rate. If you have fewer than four tiers, set the limit of your last one to 0.

Check whether your plan pays on sales booked or on money received, and enter that figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is tiered commission worked out?

Each band is paid at its own rate, then the bands are added up. With the tiers shown, sales of 60,000 earn 500.00, 1,125.00, 2,500.00, 1,250.00 across the four bands, which is 5,375.00 in total, or 8.96% of sales.

What about a plan that pays the rate of the tier you reach on every sale?

Use the flat rate with the rate for the tier your sales reach, since no sales stay in the lower bands. Sales of 60,000 reach 12.5% on the tiers above, which earns 7,500.00 on everything, against 5,375.00 when each rate applies only to its own band.

What happens to a sale exactly on a tier limit?

It stays in the lower tier, and only the amount above the limit moves up. Sales of exactly 10,000 earn 500.00 on these tiers, and sales of 10,100 earn 507.50.
