What is Commission Calculator?
Calculate sales commission, find the commission rate, estimate required sales from a commission amount, or add commission to base pay.
Commission amount formula
Commission = sales amount × commission rate ÷ 100. For example, $25,000 in sales at 6% produces $1,500 in commission.
Find a commission rate
If you know sales and commission, use commission ÷ sales × 100 to find the effective commission percentage.
Find sales from commission
If you know the commission amount and rate, divide commission by the decimal rate to estimate the sales amount that produced it.
Base pay plus commission
For jobs with a fixed base plus variable commission, add the calculated commission to the base-pay amount for the period.
