A percentage is easy. Knowing which payment earned it, which plan applied and what a later refund changes is harder.
Sales Commission & Payout Control connects invoice lines, receipts, split deals and plan versions. Review earned, pending, payable and paid amounts separately. Close a period, preserve its statements and carry later corrections forward without rewriting the original record.
Plans can pay a flat rate or marginal or retroactive tiers, on net sales, collected net revenue or gross profit. You decide whether tiers apply to the whole deal or to each seller's own base for the period — the tool asks, because the two give different answers.
Every figure opens its calculation: the base of each line, the part of it in each tier, the single rounding, the share of each seller and the date it becomes payable.
What you get
- Versioned commission plans: flat, marginal or retroactive tiers, product-group rates.
- Bases on net sales, collected net revenue or gross profit — indirect tax never counts.
- Split deals with explicit shares that must total 100%.
- Partial payments allocated to invoice lines and tax, rounding reconciled to the cent.
- Returns linked to the original sale, period and plan version.
- Earned, pending eligibility, payable by date and paid shown separately.
- Payout periods: open, checked, approved, exported — approved statements are frozen.
- Corrections carried into the next open period; negative balances are never deducted automatically.
- Individual statements per seller, payroll CSV and a Shift-to-Pay compatible export.
How it works
- Set up your workspace. Choose your currency, time zone and date format, then add your sellers and enter your commission plan.
- Add your records. Post invoices with their lines and shares, record customer payments and returns — by hand or through CSV/XLSX import.
- Review exceptions. See incomplete lines, pending eligibility, payout delays and corrections caused by later returns before you approve.
- Close the process. Approve the payout period, print each seller's statement, export the payroll file and keep a backup.

Questions
Does it use AI?
No. Every result is calculated with the formulas shown in the tool and in the guide. No business records are sent to an AI service.
Do I need a subscription?
No subscription is required for the one-time purchase. Access through TidyCents PRO follows the current PRO terms.
What does PRO include for this tool?
The full online version for as long as your PRO is active.
Is the offline program included in PRO?
No. The downloadable offline program is part of the one-time purchase and is bought separately.
Where is my data stored?
Your working records are stored in the browser on your device. Nothing is sent to our server. Export complete backups regularly, especially before clearing browser data or changing devices.
Can I move a project to another device?
Yes. Export a complete backup and restore it in the same product on the other device.
Can several people work in it at the same time?
This version is designed for one local workspace. It does not provide simultaneous shared editing.
What happens when PRO ends?
Records already on your device are not deleted. They open read-only with backup and CSV export; editing and new calculations come back when you renew PRO or buy the tool.
Can I see how a commission was calculated?
Yes. “How it is calculated” shows the plan version, the base of each line, the parts in each tier, the exact amount before rounding, the single rounding and each seller's share.
For which countries and rules is it suitable?
For any country and currency, because it applies only the plan you enter. It contains no wage, tax or deduction rules of any country and does not check whether your plan complies with local law.
Tiers on the whole deal or per seller — what is the difference?
With the sale-group scope the tiers apply to the whole deal and the commission is then split by the shares (700 split 70/30 = 490 and 210). With the payee-period scope the base is split first and each seller's own base for the period meets the tiers (8,400 and 3,600 below a 10,000 threshold = 420 and 180). A tiered plan is not calculated until you choose.
What happens when a customer returns goods after I paid commission?
The return reduces the original sale in its original period and plan version. The approved period is not rewritten: the difference between the new target and what was already posted appears as a correction in the next open period. A negative balance is shown as a correction balance and is never deducted from pay automatically.
Does “exported” mean the commission was paid?
No. Exported only records that the payroll file was produced. Payments are recorded separately.
Can it use Shift-to-Pay Control?
It exports each approved period's commission per seller in the column layout of Shift-to-Pay Control's commission register.
