How Commission Works
Commission is money you earn based on how much you sell. When you make a sale, you get a percentage of that sale as your commission. For example, if you sell something for $1,000 and your commission rate is 5%, you earn $50.
The commission calculator uses this simple formula: Commission = Sales Amount × Commission Rate ÷ 100
This tool also shows you your net earnings, which is the total sales minus your commission. This helps you understand the full picture of your sales performance.
