How It Works

How to Calculate Commission

A commission is the percentage of a sale paid to whoever made the sale happen. Whether you're a salesperson, affiliate marketer, real estate agent, or creator promoting affiliate products, the basic formula stays the same.

Commission = Sale Price × (Rate ÷ 100)

Example: You sell a $500 digital product at a 15% affiliate commission rate. Your commission is $500 × 0.15 = $75. The seller keeps $425.

The calculator above handles three common scenarios: a flat percentage on every sale (Simple), a guaranteed base salary plus commission on each sale (Base + Commission), and changing rates based on how much you sell (Tiered).

Frequently Asked Questions

A commission calculator is a free online tool that figures out how much money you earn from a sale based on your commission rate. You enter the sale price and commission percentage, and it tells you the commission amount and your final earnings. It can also handle more complex structures like tiered commissions and base salary plus commission.
The basic formula is: Commission = Sale Price × (Commission Rate ÷ 100). For example, if you sell a $500 product at a 15% commission, you earn $500 × 0.15 = $75. The calculator above does this math automatically and shows you what the seller keeps too.
Affiliate commissions usually range from 5% to 30% on physical products and 20% to 50% on digital products like courses and software. Some premium programs pay up to 65% or higher. brandID's marketplace offers commission rates up to 65% on qualifying products.
Tiered commissions pay different percentages based on sales volume. For example: 5% on the first $10,000, 7% on the next $10,000, and 10% on anything above $20,000. The more you sell, the higher your rate climbs. Use the Tiered tab in the calculator above to test different structures.
