FAQ
Is a tiered commission better than a flat one?
Tiers reward larger deals with a higher rate above each threshold, so big closers earn more per dollar. A flat rate is simpler and predictable. Which is better depends on your sales mix.
Do I pay tax on commission?
Yes — commission is ordinary income and taxed like salary. The calculators here show gross commission; your take-home will be lower after tax.
