Calculate commission earnings from a sale amount and commission rate, plus optional base salary.
The Sales Commission Calculator figures out how much commission you’ve earned on a sale or a batch of sales, and adds it to any base salary for the period.
It is useful for salespeople, freelancers, and managers who need a quick way to check commission payouts.
Commission = Sales Amount × (Commission Rate ÷ 100). Total Earnings = Commission + Base Salary.
$20,000 in sales at a 7% commission rate earns $1,400 in commission. Add a $2,000 base salary and total earnings for the period come to $3,400.
Commission = sale amount x commission rate (as a percentage), though some structures use tiered rates that increase at higher sales thresholds.
Flat commission applies one rate to all sales; tiered commission increases the rate as a salesperson hits higher sales milestones, rewarding higher performance.
This depends on the specific commission plan — some calculate on gross revenue, others on profit after costs, so check your plan's terms before relying on the estimate.
