Basic commission: Sale Amount × Commission Rate. For $50,000 sale at 6% = $3,000 commission. Tiered structures pay different rates for different sale amounts. Split commissions divide between multiple parties (agent/broker, team members).
Varies by industry: Real estate 5-6%, car sales 25% of profit or $100-500 flat, retail 1-10%, software sales 5-10%, financial services 1-3%. Enterprise sales often 5-15% on first-year contract value.
Tiered (or graduated) commission pays different rates at different sales levels. Example: 5% on first $10k, 7% on $10k-50k, 10% on $50k+. Incentivizes higher sales. Calculate each tier separately and sum totals.
Commission split divides total commission among multiple parties. Real estate: 6% total → 3% each to buyer's and seller's agent, then further split with brokerages (often 70/30 or 80/20). New agents typically get smaller splits.
Commissions are taxed as ordinary income. Employees have taxes withheld (often at higher supplemental rate of 22%). Independent contractors (1099) pay self-employment tax (15.3%) plus income tax. Quarterly estimated payments may be required.
