Common questions

How do I calculate sales commission?

Multiply the sale amount by the commission rate. For example, a $10,000 sale at 5% commission = $500. Some structures use tiered rates where higher sales volumes earn higher percentages.

What is a typical commission rate?

It varies widely by industry. Real estate agents earn 2.5–3%, retail sales 1–10%, SaaS sales reps 5–15%, and affiliate marketing 5–30% depending on the product.
