Sales Commission Calculator.
A sales commission calculator models compensation across the five most common plan structures used by B2B sales organizations: flat rate, tiered or progressive, accelerator, draw against commission, and hybrid. Select your plan type and enter base salary, commission rates, bookings, and quota to see a full compensation breakdown with per-tier, per-band, or per-deal-type detail. Every tab includes OTE projections at eighty, one hundred, one hundred twenty, and one hundred fifty percent attainment, plus a monthly earnings visualization to help VP Sales and RevOps teams evaluate and compare compensation structures before rolling them out.

Get Started in 3 Steps
Select Your Commission Structure
Choose from five compensation plan types: Flat Rate for simple percentage-based plans, Tiered for progressive rate structures, Accelerator for quota-based attainment bands, Draw for guaranteed monthly floor arrangements, or Hybrid for multi-deal-type compensation.
Enter Compensation Details
Input your base salary, commission rates, bookings amounts, and quota targets specific to each plan type. For tiered and accelerator plans, customize the rate tiers or attainment bands. For draw plans, toggle between recoverable and non-recoverable and choose uniform or custom monthly distribution.
Review Commission Breakdown and OTE Projections
See detailed breakdowns by tier, band, deal type, or month depending on your plan. Every tab includes OTE projections at eighty, one hundred, one hundred twenty, and one hundred fifty percent attainment so you can model compensation across performance scenarios.
Under the Hood
This calculator implements five distinct commission calculation engines, each following the exact math used by sales operations teams to model compensation plans. Flat rate multiplies total bookings by a single commission percentage. Tiered applies progressive rates where each tier only taxes bookings within its range. Accelerator converts attainment percentages to dollar breakpoints against quota, then applies piecewise rates to each band.
The draw against commission engine simulates a full twelve-month schedule tracking monthly bookings, earned commission, draw payments, and running balance. Recoverable draws accumulate a balance when earned commission falls below the draw amount, with surplus earnings in later months repaying the deficit. Non-recoverable draws simply pay the higher of the draw or earned commission each month with no balance tracking.
The hybrid engine calculates variable compensation across multiple deal types, each with its own bookings amount and commission rate. Variable attainment is computed as total variable earned divided by the variable target, providing visibility into how close the rep is to their expected variable compensation independent of base salary.
OTE projections for all five plan types model total compensation at eighty, one hundred, one hundred twenty, and one hundred fifty percent attainment. For plans with explicit quotas, bookings scale against the quota. For plans without quotas, the current bookings input serves as the one hundred percent baseline. This allows side-by-side comparison of how each plan structure rewards or penalizes performance at different attainment levels.
