How is sales commission calculated?

Multiply total sales by the commission rate as a decimal. For example, 25,000 in sales at an 8% rate gives 25,000 x 0.08 = 2,000 in commission.

Can I include a base salary?

Yes — switch to the base salary plus commission mode and the tool adds your base draw to the calculated commission for total pay.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No — every calculation runs locally in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

What commission rate is typical in sales?

It varies widely by industry. Many roles fall between 5% and 15% of revenue, with high-ticket or SaaS deals sometimes higher and volume retail lower. This tool lets you enter whatever rate your plan specifies.

How do I calculate base salary plus commission?

Add your fixed base draw to the commission. For example, a £1,500 monthly base plus 8% on £25,000 of sales is 1,500 + 2,000 = £3,500 total pay.

Is commission calculated on revenue or profit?

This calculator multiplies the rate by the sales figure you enter, so it works for either — just enter revenue for a revenue-based plan or gross margin for a margin-based plan.

How do I find the commission rate from earnings?

Divide the commission earned by total sales and multiply by 100. Earning £2,000 on £25,000 of sales is 2,000 ÷ 25,000 × 100 = 8%.

Sales Commission Calculator

Sales commission calculator

Find out exactly what a deal or a month of sales pays. Enter your total sales and commission rate for a flat-rate figure, or switch to base salary plus commission to see your total take-home pay. It suits sales reps checking a commission statement, managers modelling a comp plan, or anyone on a performance-based wage.

How it works

Commission is the sales figure multiplied by the rate expressed as a decimal:

commission = total sales × (rate ÷ 100)

In base-plus mode the tool adds your fixed base draw on top:

total pay = base salary + commission

Example

A rep sells £25,000 in a month on an 8% commission rate, with a £1,500 base:

Component	Amount
Commission (25,000 × 0.08)	£2,000
Base salary	£1,500
Total pay	£3,500
