Common structures
Flat commission: same % on every dollar. Tiered: higher % above threshold (e.g., 5% to 100K, then 8% above). Quota-based: nothing until you hit minimum, then commission on overage. Draw: advance against future commission.
On-target earnings (OTE)
A sales role’s "OTE" combines base + expected commission at quota attainment. A $100K OTE might be $50K base + $50K commission if you hit quota. Common in tech sales.
Tax treatment
Commissions are taxed as supplemental wages. Federal withholding is often a flat 22% (regardless of your bracket), though year-end tax owed is based on your actual bracket. Big-commission months can withhold more than necessary.
