Formula Formula for the Commission Commission Rate x Total Amount Sale of the Month

Commission + Basic Salary Steps in Computing for the Commission 1.Analyze the problem carefully. 2. Jot down all the given. 3. Write the indicated formula. 4. Substitute the given to the formula. 5. Perform the operations needed. Different Types of Commissions 1. Straight Commission 2. Graduated Commission 3. Salary Plus Commission Straight Commission A Straight Commission is a form of compensation but with no fixed salary of the agent. It means that it is only the commission of sales that the agent will get from the company. Example (Straight Commission) Nathaniel works in a company with a commission only basis. His boss gave him a 3.2% commission on his total monthly sales without a base salary. Fortunately, Nathaniel made a sale of Php180,000 for the month of July. How much will be his commission? Commission Rate = 3.2% → 0.032 (always make this a decimal point) Total Sale = Php180,000 Formula: Commission Rate x Total Amount Sale of the Month = 0.032 x 180,000 = Php5,760 (the commission that Nathaniel will get for July) GRADUATED COMMISSION A Graduated Commission is a type of commission that the company gives to their sales agent not in once but in gradual. The commission will increase if the sale of an agent also increases. This will encourage the agent to sell more so that they can earn a big commission. EXAMPLE 3 (Graduated Commission): Rolando is an agent with a commission of 3% on his first Php150,000 of sales during the month and 2.5% commission on sales above Php150,000. He happened to have a sale of Php187,000. How much will he earn?
Solution: 1st Commission Rate = 3% → 0.03 (always
make this a decimal point) 1st Sale = Php150,000
2nd Commission Rate =2.5% → 0.025 (always make
this a decimal point) 2nd Sale = Php187,000 – Php150,000 = Php37,000 Formula: Commission Rate x Sale of the Month
We first need to compute for the first commission that he can get from Php150,000. = 0.03 x 150,000 = Php 4,500 (Rolando’s first commission)
Then compute for the commission of the remaining sale.
= 0.025 x 37,000 = Php 925 (Rolando’s commission from the remaining sale) Add the 1st and 2nd commission to get the final commission for month. = Php 4,500 + Php 925 = Php 5,425 (Rolando’s total commission) SALARY PLUS COMMISSION A Salary Plus Commission is when an agent gets a salary on top of the commission he/she will get for every sale that he/she can make. EXAMPLE 5 (Salary Plus Commission):
Mr. Chan is working in a company with a minimum salary wage
of Php12,000 monthly. On top of his salary, he is expected to sell appliances worth Php6,000. He can get an additional 3% commission when he exceeds his expected sales. He fortunately made a sale worth Php13,700. How much will be his gross pay?
Solution: To compute for his commission,
Php13,700 – Php6,000 = Php7,700 x 0.03 = Php231
Then compute now the gross pay, Commission + Monthly Salary
Php231 + Php12,000 = Php12,231 COMMISSION on Installment A Commission on Installment Basis is a commission not based on sales, but it is a commission based on the collection or what we call payments by buyers. Installment means that the buyers didn’t pay all at once. EXAMPLE 6 (Commission on Installment Basis):
Mr. Watson works in a cellphone shop that offers him 3% commission on
every sale he can make. He made a sale worth Php80,000 that can be paid in an installment of Php10,000 per month for 8 months. How much will be his monthly commission? How much is the total commission he can get?
Solution: Commission Rate = 3% → 0.03 (always make this a decimal
point) Monthly Payment = Php 10,000
Formula: Commission Rate x Payment
= 0.03 x Php10,000 = Php300 is his monthly commission. Php300 x 8 months = Php2,400 is his total commission ARE YOU READY FOR ANSWERS?
