Flat-rate commission plan template
Every deal pays the same %.
What it is
Every closed deal pays the rep the same percentage of the deal amount. One rate, one multiplication, and no slabs to argue about.
When to use it
You sell one product, your deal sizes sit in a narrow band, or you're paying your first few reps and want a plan everyone understands on day one.
When not to
Deal sizes vary a lot, or you want reps to go after bigger deals. A flat rate pays the same for the easy deal and the hard one.
How it's calculated
commission = deal amount × rate
A worked example
A rep on a 7% flat rate closes one deal.
| Deal amount | Rate | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| ₹4,00,000 | 7% | ₹28,000 |
Common mistakes
- Not saying which amount the rate applies to: contract value, first-year value or the amount actually collected.
- Paying on close when the customer pays later. Decide whether commission waits for the invoice or the payment.
- Changing the rate mid-year without a start date, so past months get worked out again at the new rate.
