This educational estimate assumes credited revenue is paid at the first rate through quota and the second rate only above quota. It excludes draws, caps, bonuses, splits, overlays, exclusions, clawbacks, effective dates, and other plan terms.

How the calculation works

  1. 1. Through quota

    Apply the base rate to credited revenue up to the quota amount.

  2. 2. Above quota

    Apply the accelerator rate only to credited revenue beyond quota.

  3. 3. Total payout

    Add the standard and accelerated commission amounts.

Production compensation plans often need more than this example. Quota Queue’s commission plan software models additional rules and preserves the source plan, calculation detail, and statement evidence.

Calculator or commission calculation software?

Use this calculator for a single quota-and-accelerator scenario. Use sales commission calculation software when you need multiple reps, CRM deal imports, effective-dated rules, statement history, approvals, disputes, and repeatable payout exports.

Which tools model tiered accelerator commissions?

This free calculator models one quota with a base rate and an accelerator. To model tiered accelerator commissions with several attainment brackets, decelerators below quota, caps, and splits, Quota Queue’s free plan combines tiered-rate and accelerator rules in one published plan and calculates them against your imported deals. Starter adds simulation to compare payout cost under proposed rates before you publish.
