Calculating Salesperson Commissions

The software can calculate an amount of commission to pay your sales staff on each deal from information you enter into the section labeled Commissions on Sale.

For each salesperson, select the amount from which a commission will be calculated. You can use the drop-down box to calculate a commission on the Front End Profit, the Back End Profit, or the Gross Profit. You also have the option of selecting None if you wish to enter a straight dollar amount instead ofletting the software calculate a percentage.

Once you have selected the amount on which you want to calculate a commission, enter the percentage of commission you wish to pay your salesperson in the box next to the salesperson's name. The software will automatically calculate a dollar amount for you. If you have selected None in the step above, you may enter a dollar amount into the box representing the amount of commission paid instead of letting the software calculate a percentage.

You can view the amount of commissions paid to your sales staff by viewing the Salesman Commissions report from the Reports menu at the top of the screen.
