FAQ
How is commission calculated?
Multiply the sales amount by the commission rate — a $50,000 month at 5% earns $2,500 before any base salary is added.
What is a typical commission rate?
Retail often pays 5–10%, real estate around 2.5–3% per side, and B2B sales commonly 8–15% depending on margins.
Base plus commission or straight commission?
Straight commission maximizes upside but adds income risk; a base salary smooths slow months at the cost of a lower rate.
