Commission Calculator
Work out sales commission on a flat rate or true marginal tiers, add a base salary or a draw, and see the per-band math. A reverse mode finds the sale behind a commission earned.

Commission
$3,000.00
on a $20,000.00 sale
- Commission
- $3,000.00
- Payout (with base/draw)
- $3,000.00
Commission = sale × rate. A recoverable draw is netted against base plus commission; pay never drops below the base here.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you calculate commission?
- Multiply the sale amount by the rate, then divide by 100. A $2,000 sale at 15% pays $300. For base-plus plans, add the fixed salary on top.
- How does tiered commission work?
- Each band pays its own rate like tax brackets, so you do not get the top rate on the whole amount. On $27,000 with 3% to $20k, 5% to $25k and 10% above: 20,000×3% + 5,000×5% + 2,000×10% = $1,050.
- What is a draw against commission?
- It is an advance paid up front and then recovered from earned commission. A recoverable draw must be paid back if you under-earn; a non-recoverable draw is forgiven.
- How do I find the sale from the commission?
- Divide the commission by the rate as a decimal. $300 at 15% is $300 ÷ 0.15 = $2,000. The reverse mode does this for you.
- Is my data sent anywhere?
- No. Every calculation runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, logged or stored, and the numbers reset when you close the tab.
