Progressive Commission:

A progressive commission is a commission structure where the commission increases as the sales volume or revenue generated by a sales representative increases over a given month. In the progressive commission, if the sales representative achieves higher sales volumes, they move to higher commission rate tiers. The commission criteria are structured based on the total sales volume achieved each month.

Two types of progressive commission calculation on the monthly basis:

Percentage-Based Progressive Commission:-

Criteria Name Greater Than Less Than Equal To Percentage
Criteria one 0 10000 2%
Criteria two 10000 50000 4%
Criteria three 50000 80000 5%
Criteria four >=80000 10%

Scenario 1:

Assume the total amount is 30000. Then the percentage-based progressive commission is calculated as follows:

So the amount is 30000 and it lies under criteria name Criteria two. First, the 10000 amount gets calculated in Criteria one then the remaining amount which is 20000 gets calculated in Criteria two. Total commission is the sum of all commissions calculated in the upper criteria.

For Criteria one: 2% of 10000 = 200

For Criteria two: 4% of (30000 - 10000) = 800

Total Commission: 200 + 800 = 1000

Scenario 2:

Assume the total amount is 100000. Then the percentage-based progressive commission is calculated as follows.

So the amount is 100000 and it lies under Criteria four. First, the 10000 amount gets calculated in Criteria one, then the 40000 amount is calculated in Criteria two, then the 30000 amount is calculated for Criteria three and then the remaining amount which is 20000 gets calculated for Criteria four. Total commission is the sum of all commissions calculated in the upper criteria.

For Criteria one: 2% of (10000 - 0) = 200

For Criteria two: 4% of (50000 - 10000) = 1600

For Criteria three: 5% of (80000 - 50000) = 1500

For Criteria four: 10% of (100000 - 80000) = 2000

Total Commission: 200 + 1600 + 1500 +2000 = 5300

Amount-Based Progressive Commission:-

Criteria Name Target Amount Incentive
Criteria one 10000 1000
Criteria two 20000 3000
Criteria three 40000 6000
Criteria four 60000 9000

Scenario 1:

Assume the total target amount is 9999. Then the amount-based progressive commission is calculated as follows.

So the amount is 9999 and it does not lie in any criteria.

Total Incentive: 0.

Scenario 2:

Assume the total target amount is 57999. Then the amount-based progressive commission is calculated as follows.

So the amount is 57999 and it meets the eligibility for all three criteria which are Criteria one, Criteria two and Criteria three. In total, the user is eligible to receive all three incentives.

Total Incentive: 1000 + 3000 + 6000 = 10000.

Scenario 3:

Assume the total target amount is 89000. Then the amount-based progressive commission is calculated as follows.

So the amount is 89000 and it meets the eligibility for all four criteria which are Criteria one, Criteria two, Criteria three and Criteria four. In total, the user is eligible to receive all four incentives.

Total Incentive: 1000 + 3000 + 6000 + 9000 = 19000.
