Commission Calculator – Sales

A commission calculator prices a salesperson's pay from revenue closed, either flat-rate or tiered where higher slices earn higher percentages. The computation rests on Commission = sales × rate | Tiered: Σ (slice × slice rate). Flat: 120,000 closed at 5% pays 120,000 × 0.05 = 6,000. Tiered: 4% on the first 80,000 (3,200) plus 6% on the remaining 40,000 (2,400) totals 5,600 — tiers change the incentive sharply. Each input you type is substituted the instant you release the key, and the result is expressed in exactly the units or currency you chose.
