Comp Plan Simulator

A comp plan is the clearest message a rep ever gets about which accounts to go after. Set a base and a commission, put two reps under the plan, and see who it pays more: the rep who signs more accounts, or the rep who brings in more revenue.

The plan, both reps and what one account pays, in one file.

How the pay is worked out

  1. Pay = the monthly base + the bonus × the new accounts + the revenue share × the first-year revenue of those accounts. It’s shown for one month of signings, so the revenue share is what that month’s accounts pay the rep over their first year.
  2. Revenue = a rep’s new accounts × their average first-year net revenue: what the accounts pay, less the pass-through costs you never keep, as in the numbers, defined.
  3. Pay per $1 of revenue is what the business spends on the rep for every dollar of first-year revenue the month’s accounts bring in. Net revenue left after pay is what’s left of that first year once the rep is paid. It isn’t contribution yet: the accounts’ other variable costs, such as residual splits and losses, still come out of it.
  4. The two reps start as one who signs more, smaller accounts and one who signs fewer, bigger ones. Change either to match your own team.
  5. What it leaves out: quotas and accelerators, quarterly and annual bonuses, clawbacks, and revenue past the first year.
