Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate sales commission?
Multiply eligible revenue by the commission rate, then add bonuses or accelerators and subtract any draw or clawback.
What is a tiered commission?
A tiered commission pays one rate up to a threshold and a different rate after the threshold is reached.
What is a recoverable draw?
A recoverable draw is an advance against future commissions that may be deducted from later payouts.
What is the difference between gross and net commission?
Gross commission is calculated before deductions. Net commission is calculated after adjustments such as discounts, fees, refunds, or clawbacks.
