1. What is a Reverse Commission Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the total commission amount based on your share of the commission and the split ratio.

Purpose: It helps sales professionals, affiliates, and partners calculate the original commission amount when they only know their portion.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( S \) — Total commission (USD)
• \( C \) — Your commission share (USD)
• \( R \) — Your split ratio (decimal between 0 and 1)

Explanation: Your commission share is divided by your split ratio to determine the total commission amount.

3. Importance of Commission Calculations
