Frequently Asked Questions
About the Sales Incentive Calculator
1. What does the calculator do?
- This tool helps you quickly estimate your potential monthly incentive payout. Just enter your annual base salary and monthly performance score, and it calculates what you could earn this month according to the plan rules.
2. What plan rules does this calculator follow?
The calculator follows the rules of our Sales Incentive Plan:
- Pay Mix: 70% Base Salary / 30% Target Incentive. Your commission potential is 30% of total target compensation.
- Payout Threshold: You only start earning incentives when your performance exceeds 80%. If you hit 80% or less, the payout is $0.
- Upside / Cap: The maximum payout is 150% of your Monthly Target Incentive Earning (MTIE), reached at 120% achievement.
Understanding the Calculation
3. What is TIE and MTIE?
These terms define your target commission numbers:
- Annual Target Incentive Earning (TIE): The total commission you’d earn in a year if you hit 100% of your targets.
- Calculation: TIE = Base Salary × (30 ÷ 70)
- Monthly Target Incentive Earning (MTIE): Your monthly target payout if you achieve 100% of your monthly goal.
- Calculation: MTIE = TIE ÷ 12
4. How exactly does the payout ramp up?
The payout increases linearly based on your performance:
- ≤ 80% Achievement: $0 payout. Incentives start only above 80%.
- 80% – 100% Achievement: Payout scales from $0 to 100% of MTIE.
- 100% – 120% Achievement: Payout accelerates from 100% up to 150% of MTIE.
- > 120% Achievement: Payout is capped at 150% of MTIE.
5. What does Total Monthly Earnings include?
Total Monthly Earnings combines your monthly base pay (annual base salary divided by 12) and your calculated incentive payout for that month. Your base pay is earned regardless of performance; the incentive payout is only added when achievement exceeds the 80% threshold.
