Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate commission?
Multiply the sale amount by the commission rate (as a decimal). For a 5% commission on $20,000, that's $1,000.
What's a typical commission rate?
It varies widely — retail sales might be 2–10%, real estate around 5–6% split between agents, and some roles use tiered rates.
