Illustrative USD schedule: 5% through 10,000 revenue, 7% above 10,000 through 20,000, then 10%. Revenue and base salary must cover the same period. These are sample tiers, not your employer's plan.

Graduated: only the revenue in each band earns its rate. No gaps exist between bands; crossing a threshold does not reprice earlier revenue.

Gross earnings equal base salary plus commission. Returns, discounts, draws, splits, caps, taxes and payout timing are excluded. Use revenue eligible under your actual plan.

Each displayed amount rounds half up to cents from exact decimal arithmetic. Tiny nonzero amounts use scientific notation; totals use unrounded payouts, so separately rounded rows can differ by a cent.

Flat: the entered rate applies to all revenue.

Tiered: the reached rate applies to all revenue. Exactly 10,000 uses 5%, exactly 20,000 uses 7%; crossing a threshold changes the rate on the entire amount.

Graduated: only the revenue in each band earns its rate. No gaps exist between bands; crossing a threshold does not reprice earlier revenue.
