It estimates commission, commissionable revenue or margin, on-target earnings (OTE), gross profit, operating cost, operating profit, and several margin ratios. All amounts should use the same period. A monthly salary should be paired with monthly sales and costs; an annual salary should be paired with annual figures. Mixing periods is one of the fastest ways to create a misleading compensation result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eCommission is compensation tied to sales activity or another defined performance measure.
