What is Commission?
Commission is a payment based on the value of a sale, transaction or another agreed amount. It is often calculated as a percentage. At 5% commission on Rs. 100,000 in sales, the commission earned is Rs. 5,000.
Rates and payment arrangements differ between businesses, roles and industries. Use the percentage and amount that apply to your agreement.
How to Calculate Commission
Commission = Sale Amount × Commission Rate ÷ 100
On Rs. 200,000 at 7.5%, the calculation is 200,000 × 7.5 ÷ 100 = Rs. 15,000 commission.
How to Calculate Commission Percentage
Commission Rate = (Commission Amount ÷ Sale Amount) × 100
Rs. 15,000 commission on an Rs. 200,000 sale is 15,000 ÷ 200,000 × 100 = 7.5%.
How to Calculate Sales from Commission
Sale Amount = Commission ÷ (Commission Rate ÷ 100)
Rs. 15,000 at 7.5% came from Rs. 200,000 in sales. A zero rate cannot be reversed because division by zero cannot determine an original amount.
How Does Base Salary Plus Commission Work?
A representative with an Rs. 50,000 base salary and 5% commission on Rs. 500,000 in sales earns Rs. 25,000 commission, for total earnings of Rs. 75,000.
Total Earnings = Base Salary + Commission
Actual compensation may include targets, tiers, bonuses, caps or other rules. This calculator handles one straightforward percentage and an optional fixed payment.
