Enter the total commission earned ($) and the total sales value ($) into the Commission Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Commission Rate. 

Commission Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Commission Rate.

COMR = C / SV * 100
  • Where COMR is the Commission Rate (%)
  • C is the total commission earned ($) 
  • SV is the total sales value ($) 

To calculate the commission rate, divide the commission earned by the total sales value, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Commission Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Commission Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total commission earned ($).
    • The total commission earned ($) is given as: 1,000.
  2. Next, determine the total sales value ($).
    • The total sales value ($) is provided as: 10,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Commission Rate using the equation above: 

COMR = C / SV * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

COMR = 1000 / 10000 * 100 = 10.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total commission earned ($) = 5,000

total sales value ($) = 75,000

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..

COMR = C / SV * 100 = ?
