Many roles mix a fixed base with variable commission. Align the base and sales figures to the same period (week, month, quarter) so the total is meaningful.
Steps
- Enter sales for the period.
- Enter the commission rate.
- Enter base pay for the same period.
- Read gross commission and total pay.
Sample
