About this tool
Flat commission = sales × rate. With a tier, sales up to the target earn the first rate and only the sales above the target earn the higher rate. For example, 80,000 in sales with a 50,000 target, 5% below and 8% above pays 2,500 + 2,400 = 4,900.
Your own plan may use other rules, such as caps, product-specific rates or clawbacks, so check your contract. These are estimates for planning and are not accounting, tax or legal advice.
