Calculating sales commission

If you pay sales commission to staff, we've provided a template at the bottom of this page which lets you calculate commissions for a given period. You'll need to be using the Salesperson field on your invoices for commissions to be calculated.

All you need to do is add this template to your AccountRight report templates. Then when you run the Analyse Sales [Salesperson] report in AccountRight and export it to Excel, the report will display using the downloaded template.

Once you've calculated a sales commission, learn how to pay the commission.
