Sales commission plan analyzer

Model a sales compensation plan the way reps actually experience it: OTE, thresholds, retroactive versus above-threshold payout rules, accelerators, split-credit deals, clawbacks, caps, and the attainment needed to hit a target cash number.

Why this page exists

Most commission calculators assume one flat rate on all closed revenue. Real plans do not. Threshold gates, credit splits, clawbacks, and caps can turn the same nominal OTE into a very different lived payout.

  • Shows what the plan actually pays at multiple attainment levels, not just at 100%.
  • Makes threshold design explicit: retroactive unlock versus above-threshold-only.
  • Translates split credit, clawbacks, and caps into cash consequences instead of vague warnings.
  • Back-solves the attainment needed to hit a target income number.
