Frequently asked questions
What is a commission and how is it calculated?
Commission = Sales Amount × Commission Rate / 100. For example, a 5% commission on a ₹10 lakh sale earns ₹50,000. Commission rates vary widely by industry: real estate agents typically earn 1–3%, insurance agents 15–30%, and stock brokers 0.1–0.5%.
What is tiered commission?
Tiered commission (also called accelerators) pays different rates for different sales levels. For example, 5% on the first ₹5 lakh in monthly sales, 7% on the next ₹5 lakh, and 10% on anything above ₹10 lakh. This structure incentivises high performance.
