What is a 70/30 Compensation Plan?

A 70/30 compensation plan is a type of payment structure often used in sales-oriented businesses, where 70% of the compensation is a fixed salary and the remaining 30% is based on performance incentives or commissions. This means that the employee is guaranteed 70% of their income, providing a level of financial stability, while the remaining 30% is variable, depending on the employee’s ability to meet or exceed their sales or performance targets. This type of plan is designed to motivate employees to perform better, as a significant portion of their income is directly tied to their performance. It also provides a balance between a stable income and performance-based incentives.
