Commission Statement

A Commission Statement is a summary that shows the commission earned by an employee based on a particular commission model in a given period of time. This means that each statement covers only one model, such as a percentage of revenue or a fixed bonus per sale, and covers only the selected period. The period is typically a month, a quarter or a year.

What does a commission statement contain?

A statement is built with a focus on transparency and precision. It shows:

• Earned commission during the period: calculated on the basis of the selected model.
• Basis for calculation: e.g. recorded sales, closed deals or completed activities.
• Total amount: the commission earned that is payable or has been paid.
• Any regulations: e.g., clawback or adjustments at churn.

By delimiting into one model and one period, the statement provides a simple and easy-to-understand overview of the relationship between performance and reward.

Why are Commission Statements Important?

For the employee, the statement provides reassurance and a clear picture of what has been earned. For management, it is a tool to document correct calculations, reduce errors and build confidence in the payroll process. A commission statement also serves as a reference if questions arise or need for documentation.
