1. What is Commission Including GST?

This calculator determines the total commission amount when GST is applicable to the commission payment. It calculates both the base commission and the GST component.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( Sale\ Price \) — The total amount of the sale
• \( Commission\ Rate \) — The percentage commission rate
• \( GST\ Rate \) — The applicable GST rate percentage

Explanation: The formula first calculates the base commission, then adds the GST amount to give the total commission payable.

3. Importance of Calculating GST on Commission

Details: When GST applies to commission payments, it's important to calculate both the base commission and GST component separately for proper accounting and tax reporting.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sale price (without GST), commission rate percentage, and applicable GST rate percentage. All values must be positive numbers.
