How to Use the Commission Calculator

This calculator helps you determine the commission amount and total earnings based on sales amount, commission rate, and optional base salary.

The Commission Formula

The commission calculator uses the following formulas:

Commission = Sales Amount * (Commission Rate / 100)

Total Earnings = Commission + Base Salary

Calculation Steps

1. Enter the Sales Amount
2. Input the Commission Rate as a percentage
3. Optionally, enter the Base Salary
4. The calculator applies the formulas to compute the commission and total earnings
5. The result shows the Commission Amount and Total Earnings

Example Calculation

Let's walk through an example calculation:

Given:

• Sales Amount: $10,000
• Commission Rate: 5%
• Base Salary: $2,000

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Calculate the commission: $10,000 * (5% / 100) = $500
2. Add the base salary: $500 + $2,000 = $2,500

Therefore, the Commission Amount is $500, and the Total Earnings are $2,500.
