1. What is Commission with GST?

In Maharashtra, India, commission payments are subject to GST (Goods and Services Tax). This calculator helps determine the total commission amount including GST, which is typically 18% for most services.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Sale Price} \) — Total value of the sale in INR
• \( \text{Commission Rate} \) — Agreed percentage commission
• \( \text{GST Rate} \) — Applicable GST rate (typically 18%)

Explanation: The calculation first determines the base commission, then adds GST on top of that amount.
