Frequently asked questions
What is a typical commission rate?
It varies enormously by industry — from 1–2% on high-volume goods to 20%+ on high-margin services.
Base plus commission vs commission-only?
A base provides stability; commission-only offers higher upside. The mix shapes total earnings and risk.
Is commission taxed differently?
It is taxable income; withholding rules can differ, but it counts toward your total earnings.
