Every formula used by these calculators. They match the FNSACC323 Perform financial calculations unit.
Markup calculates profit as a percentage of the cost price. Profit Margin calculates profit as a percentage of the selling price.
Fixed Costs stay the same no matter how much you sell (e.g. rent, insurance). Variable Cost is what it costs to make or deliver one single unit (materials, packaging, per-item shipping) — it goes up and down with sales, unlike fixed costs. Selling Price is what you charge per unit.
Example. A sales rep sells $10,000 in a month on a 5% commission. Commission = $10,000 × 0.05 = $500.
With a $3,000 base salary, total earnings for the month are $3,500.
Commission is taxed like wages, so it goes through payroll with the rest of the pay.
Multiply the sale amount by the commission rate as a decimal. A 5% commission on $2,000 is $2,000 × 0.05 = $100.
It depends on the agreement, but it is usually calculated on the GST-exclusive amount, since the GST is collected for the ATO and is not income for the business.
Divide the commission paid by the total sales and multiply by 100. $600 commission on $12,000 of sales is a 5% rate.
