How it works

1

Enter price, cost, and commission rate

Project price, delivery cost, and the commission percentage owed.

2

We calculate the commission amount

Commission is applied to project price, then subtracted from gross profit.

3

See the margin impact

Margin before and after the commission is shown, so the real cost of the referral is visible.

Frequently asked questions

How is a recurring commission different from one-time?

A recurring commission repeats on every future payment or renewal, so its lifetime cost is much higher than a single percentage suggests.

Should commission come out of price or margin?

This tool treats it as coming out of gross profit, which is the most common structure — confirm your own agreement matches.

What's a reasonable commission rate?

This varies widely by industry and referral value. This tool doesn't recommend a rate — it shows the impact of whatever rate you enter.
