Worked accounting example
Net sales of $12,000 earn 3% on the first $8,000 ($240) and 5% on the remaining $4,000 ($200), a $440 commission. Add any quota bonus and base pay.
Accounting formulas and common mistakes
This exercise uses marginal tiers: a higher rate applies only to sales ABOVE the threshold. Reduce gross sales by returns before applying rates. Gross pay equals base salary + tier commissions + earned bonus.
All fictional amounts use US dollars for illustration only. Exercises are educational, not business, tax or investment advice.
Frequently asked questions
Are sales commissions calculated before returns?
Not here. Eligible sales are net of returns.
Does the higher tier rate apply to all sales?
No. The higher rate applies only to sales beyond the threshold in these examples.
