Commission Calculator
Commission Calculator
Whether you're a salesperson estimating a paycheck, a real estate agent calculating a fee, or a marketplace working out a seller's net payout, this is the same simple percentage calculation: sale amount × commission rate.
Sales teams and agents use this to quickly estimate earnings before a formal payout statement arrives; sellers on commission-based marketplaces use it to see what they'll actually receive.
- Formula: Commission = Sale Amount × (Commission % ÷ 100); Net Amount = Sale Amount − Commission.
- Tiered commission structures (e.g. 5% on the first €10,000, 8% above that) require applying this calculation separately to each tier and summing the results — this calculator handles a single flat rate.
- Who pays the commission varies by industry — in real estate it's typically the seller; on marketplaces it's usually deducted from the seller's proceeds before payout.
How do I handle a tiered commission structure?
Split the sale amount into the relevant tier bands, run this calculation for each band at its own rate, then add the results together for total commission.
Is commission calculated before or after other fees/taxes?
That depends on your specific contract or platform's terms — always check whether commission is calculated on gross sale price or on a net-of-other-fees amount.
