About this calculator

Flat-rate commission pays the same percentage on every dollar sold. Tiered commission pays a base rate up to a threshold, then a higher rate on everything above it, rewarding reps who exceed quota. A draw is a guaranteed minimum payout, commission earned above the draw is paid on top; if commission earned is below the draw, the rep still receives the draw amount (recoverable or non-recoverable depending on the plan).

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a recoverable and non-recoverable draw?

A recoverable draw is an advance against future commission, if a rep is paid more in draws than they earn, the difference can be deducted from future paychecks. A non-recoverable draw is a guaranteed minimum with no clawback. This calculator treats the draw as a floor on total payout.
