How It Works
Simple Calculation: Enter your sales turnover (monthly or annual) and your commission rate. The calculator will automatically compute your earnings.
Monthly vs Annual: Choose "Monthly" if you know your monthly sales, or "Annual (÷12)" if you have your yearly turnover figure. We'll automatically calculate the monthly commission.
Stacked Discounts: Add multiple discounts that apply sequentially. Each discount reduces the remaining amount, not the original. For example: 10% + 5% discount on $100 = $85.50 (not $85).
Margin-Based Suggestions: Optionally enter your customer's gross margin to get a suggested commission rate based on industry standards, but you can always enter your own rate manually.
Example Scenarios
- Base: $3,000/month
- 15 deals × $5,000 = $75,000 in sales
- 10% commission = $7,500
- Total: $10,500/month
- Base: $2,000/month
- 3 homes × $300,000 = $900,000 in sales
- 2.5% commission = $22,500
- Total: $24,500/month

Calculating sales commission accurately is essential for understanding your true earnings potential. Whether you're evaluating a new job offer, negotiating a compensation package, or forecasting your annual income, knowing exactly how commission structures work gives you a significant advantage.
The Commission Formula Explained
The standard sales commission formula is: Net Turnover × Commission Rate = Commission Earned. However, real-world calculations often include customer discounts that reduce your commission base. Our calculator accounts for this by applying discounts first: Turnover × (1 - Discount%) = Net Turnover.
When to Use "Qty × Price" Mode
If you sell products at a set price point, the Qty × Price mode helps you forecast earnings based on unit volume. For example, if you expect to close 20 deals at €5,000 each, the calculator instantly shows your monthly turnover (€100,000) and applies your commission rate to give you an accurate projection.
Understanding Customer Discounts
Many sales roles allow reps to offer customer discounts to close deals. However, these discounts typically come from your commission base, not company margin. A 10% customer discount on €100,000 turnover means you're earning commission on €90,000, not €100,000. This calculator makes that impact visible so you can make informed decisions about discounting.
Typical Commission Rates by Industry
Commission rates vary significantly by industry. SaaS sales typically range from 5-15% of contract value. Real estate agents earn 2-6% of sale price. Retail sales often see 1-3% commission. B2B services can reach 10-20% for complex sales. Use this calculator to model different scenarios and understand how rate changes impact your earnings.
💡 Pro Tip for Sales Reps
Run multiple scenarios before accepting a compensation plan. Model your best-case, expected, and worst-case monthly performance to understand your income range. This gives you negotiating leverage and helps set realistic financial goals.
