Calculation:

Commission is calculated monthly. Calculation is based on the following data available from timesheets and invoices.

Pay Rate - This is the hourly rate paid to a consultant used by the company. This is typically the same rate for a consultant for an extended period of time.

Loaded Labor Cost – This is the hourly cost that is added to the Pay Rate to determine the total cost of a resource to the company. This cost can include taxes, administrative expenses, equipment expenses, etc.

Bill Rate - This is the rate that a customer is charged for a specific consultant. This can be different by consultant. The same consultant can also be provided at different bill rates to different customers.

Revenue - Bill Rate x Number of Hours

Gross Profit - Revenue – (Pay Rate + Loaded Labor Cost) for a set number of billable hours, usually a month’s worth.

Commission amount is calculated as a percentage of Gross Profit. Each invoice Gross Profit is cumulated to get a Year-to-date Gross Profit attainment number. This Year-to-date Gross profit is compared to the annual quota and based on the tier it falls into, the appropriate commission rate is used for the calculation of commission.

YTD Gross Profit

Attainment Commission %

0 - 80% 20%

81% to 100% 25%

101% to 150% 35%

151% and above 50%

Example:

Timesheet billings for various projects and consultants are as following:

Customer Consultant Hrs Cost Bill Rate Revenue GP Acct Mgr

AAA 1 150 $80 $200 $30,000 $18,000 A

AAA 2 150 $100 $200 $30,000 $15,000 A

BBB 3 200 $100 $200 $40,000 $6,000 B

In this case, commissions for Account Manager A are calculated as follows.

GP / Quota = Attainment

($18,000 + $15,000) / $600,000 = 5.5%
