Tiered sales commission
Apply progressive commission rates to successive sales bands.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Each threshold starts a new sales band and its rate applies only to sales in that band. First threshold must be zero; thresholds must strictly increase and rates must be 0–100%. Adds base pay after commission. Excludes caps, clawbacks, tax and contract-specific conditions; up to 100 bands.
