Commission on sales

Commission is a percentage of the sales you make. A 5% commission on $50,000 of sales is $2,500. Add your base salary for the period to see your total pay, or switch to the second tab to find the sales you'd need for a target: earning $3,000 at 5% takes $60,000 of sales. Real estate agents, recruiters and sales staff often have tiered rates, so run each tier separately and add them.
