Sales needed for target
—
"Sales needed" assumes your base is fixed and the full target above it comes from commission at the entered rate; tiers, caps and non-commission base pay will change it.
Commission vs. fixed pay
A pure commission role pays only on sales, so one large deal can cover many small ones. Add a base to see blended total earnings, or flip it around with the target to price the workload you need.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a commission?
Multiply the sale amount by the commission rate. A $1,000 sale at 10% earns $100 in commission.
How much do I need to sell to hit an income target?
Take the part of the target not covered by base pay and divide it by your commission rate. At 10%, $4,000 of target beyond a base needs $40,000 in sales.
