How to Calculate Sales Commission
Sales commission is the amount earned by a salesperson based on a percentage of completed sales. Some compensation plans also include a fixed base salary.
Sales Commission Formula
Commission Amount = Total Sales × (Commission Rate ÷ 100)
Total Earnings = Base Salary + Commission Amount
Calculation Example
Suppose you generate $10,000 in sales, earn a 5% commission and receive a $2,000 base salary.
- Commission: $10,000 × 5% = $500.
- Base salary: $2,000.
- Total earnings: $2,000 + $500 = $2,500.
