Attributed sales revenue divided by outbound clicks—sales dollars per click, not just commissions (EPC).
Open calculator →Commission Rate Calculator
Commission dollars expressed as a percent of the sale base your contract names.
Overview
Use to audit rate cards against statements or to translate flat fees into implied percents when deals allow.
When to use this calculator
- When payout statements disagree with the rate card in your head
- Before you headline “10% flat” deals that carve tax or refunds differently
- When tiers exist and blended rates need a blunt average for planning
- When translating flat bonuses into percents deserves a deliberate denominator
Rule of thumb
Numerator payout and denominator sale base still follow whatever contract spells out.
Terms used in this calculator
- Affiliate commission
- Cash paid to publishers when attributed orders clear under affiliate rules.

How to interpret this result
Expresses payout as a simple percent of the sale base your contract names.
Tax-inclusive bases, coupons, and tier tables still follow legal language more than this shortcut.
Great for reconciling statements—less so for legal precision.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting VAT or discount conventions that shrink the denominator.
- Confusing staged tiers with headline “flat” percentages.
- Translating bounty payouts into bogus percents without a clear base.
