How it is calculated
Total pay = base salary + sales × commission rate ÷ 100
Example
Base salary 7,000 plus 5% commission on 50,000 sales gives 2,500 commission and 9,500 total.
Important notes
Use the same period for salary and sales, such as month with month or week with week.

Frequently asked questions
Does this support tiered commission rates?
No. This version uses one fixed rate; tiered plans require separate calculations by tier.
Is the result a guaranteed take-home pay?
No. Taxes, insurance, allowances and deductions vary by employer and jurisdiction; use the calculator as a mathematical estimate only.
Should time periods be consistent?
Yes. When comparing pay, hours or deductions, keep the same period so weekly, monthly and annual figures are not mixed.
