Frequently Asked Questions

How is sales commission calculated?
Commission = Total Sales × Commission Rate. For ₹5,00,000 sales at 5%: Commission = 5,00,000 × 0.05 = ₹25,000. Some companies use tiered rates (higher % for higher sales).
What is a typical commission rate?
It varies by industry. Real estate: 1-3% of property value. Insurance: 5-10% of premium. Retail: 1-5% of sales. Software: 10-20% of deal value. Check industry standards and your employment contract.
Is commission taxable?
Yes, commission is fully taxable as salary income. It is added to your base salary and taxed at your slab rate. TDS is deducted by the employer. Claim deductions under 80C, 80D etc. to reduce tax.
What is the difference between commission and bonus?
Commission is directly linked to sales performance (percentage of sales). Bonus is a fixed or variable amount given for achieving targets, often annually. Commission is predictable; bonus depends on company performance.
How to negotiate better commission?
Research industry standards, show your track record, propose tiered structure (higher % for exceeding targets), negotiate base salary + commission combo, and consider non-monetary benefits (leads, training, territory).
