FAQ
What can the calculator solve?
You can uncover commission, commission rate, or sales price—whichever value you leave blank—using a single click.
How do I find a commission rate quickly?
Enter the paid commission and the sales price; the tool divides the amounts, multiplies by 100, and returns the rate.
Why must I leave one box empty?
Two inputs give the equation enough information; a third input would over-constrain and produce conflicting results.
How accurate are the outputs?
The script uses floating-point math and rounds to two decimals—accuracy equals that of your inputs, no hidden approximations.
Can I calculate in euros or pounds?
Yes—just keep every field in the same currency; the math is currency-agnostic.
Does the calculator save my data?
All computations run locally in your browser, and no values leave your device (Mozilla Web-Privacy Guide 2024).
How do tiered commissions work?
Firms pay increasing rates after hitting sales thresholds—e.g., 4 % up to $50 k, then 6 % above (Salesforce Compensation Guide 2024).
Can the results support tax planning?
Use the calculated commission as gross income, then apply deductions allowed under IRS Pub 535 before estimating taxes.
