Calculation Summary
Common Sales Commission Structures
Sales compensation packages incentivize revenue generation while balancing baseline financial security. The four most common models in corporate sales are:
1. Straight Commission (100% Variable)
The sales professional receives zero base salary and earns exclusively a fixed percentage of each closed deal. Common in real estate brokerages and independent sales agencies.
2. Base Salary Plus Commission
Provides a predictable baseline wage (e.g. 50% fixed / 50% on-target earnings OTE) supplemented by commission on all sales booked. The gold standard for modern tech and enterprise sales.
3. Tiered / Accelerator Commission
Commission rates increase as higher sales quotas are unlocked (e.g. 5% on first $50k, jumping to 10% on revenue beyond $50k).
4. Gross Margin Commission
Commission is computed on actual gross profit rather than top-line revenue, preventing sales reps from offering reckless customer discounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is sales tax handled in commission calculations?
Sales commissions are almost universally calculated on net sales revenue excluding sales tax, shipping fees, credit card processing surcharges, and customer returns.
What is a commission draw?
A draw against commission is an advance payment made to a sales rep during ramp-up periods, which is subsequently deducted from future earned commissions.
