1. What is Commission Income Tax?

Commission income tax is the amount withheld from earnings received as commissions. It's calculated as a percentage of the total commission income based on applicable tax rates.

The calculator uses the simple tax formula:

Where:

• \( Commission\ Income \) — Total earnings from commissions (in currency)
• \( Tax\ Rate \) — Applicable tax percentage
