    FAQ

    How is commission calculated?

    Without a quota, commission is sales × commission rate. With a quota, sales up to the quota earn the base rate and sales above it earn the accelerator rate (or the same rate if no accelerator is entered).

    What is an accelerator?

    A higher commission rate paid on sales above quota, used to reward over-performance.

    What is the effective rate?

    Total commission divided by total sales. With an accelerator it rises above the base rate once sales pass quota.

    Does total pay include base salary?

    Yes. Total pay is the optional base pay you enter plus the calculated commission for the same period.
