Compare payouts when the merchant uses tiered commission
Model blended earnings without assuming the top rate applies to every sale.
Read whether tiers are marginal
A program pays $30 for the first 20 approved orders and $40 for later orders. At 30 orders, marginal tiers pay $1,000. If the top rate applies retroactively, payout is $1,200 instead.
Use the program’s reset schedule
Check whether tiers reset monthly or across another period, and whether reversals count against the threshold. Track approved order counts rather than submitted forms.
Estimate what happens below the target
Model a lower-volume month using the first tier. Use a higher rate only when the underlying rule and expected volume support it.
Try a related tool
Measure earnings per tracked referral click after refunds and reversals. Use counts and commissions from the same cohort.
