1. What is Commission Including GST?

Commission including GST is the total amount payable to an agent or salesperson, which includes both the base commission and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) component. This calculation is important for businesses to properly account for tax obligations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Commission = Sale\ Price \times \frac{Commission\ Rate}{100} \times \left(1 + \frac{GST\ Rate}{100}\right) \]

Where:

\( Sale\ Price \) — The total amount of the sale
\( Commission\ Rate \) — The percentage commission agreed upon
\( GST\ Rate \) — The applicable GST percentage (e.g., 10% in Australia)

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

3. Importance of GST in Commission

Details: Including GST in commission calculations ensures proper tax compliance and accurate financial reporting. It helps businesses account for their tax obligations when paying commissions to agents or salespeople.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sale price in dollars, commission rate as a percentage (e.g., 5 for 5%), and the applicable GST rate (e.g., 10 for 10%). All values must be positive numbers.
