Frequently Asked Questions

What commission structure is most common for fmcg roles?

Most fmcg positions use tiered commission structures where rates increase as you hit higher volume thresholds. This typically ranges from 3-5% at lower tiers to 8-15% at top performance levels. Many companies also include quota-based bonuses and accelerators for exceeding targets.

How are commissions typically paid in fmcg industry?

Commission payment timing varies but most companies pay monthly, 15-30 days after month-end to allow for invoice processing and returns. Some industries pay on deal close or contract signature. Payment terms should be clearly defined in your commission plan documentation.

What deductions commonly affect fmcg commission calculations?

Common deductions include: monthly draw advances (recoverable against commissions), chargebacks from product returns or cancelled orders, administrative fees, marketing costs (in some structures), and adjustments for pricing discounts that reduce commission base. Always review your commission plan to understand what deductions apply.

Can my commission plan change during the year?

Legally, employers can modify commission plans with proper notice (typically 30-90 days depending on employment contracts and labor laws). However, ethical companies usually honor existing plans for in-progress deals and provide reasonable transition periods. Get any plan changes in writing and understand how they affect your current pipeline.

How do I maximize my earnings with this commission structure?

Focus on: (1) Understanding tier thresholds and timing sales to maximize rate progression, (2) Qualifying for all available bonuses and accelerators, (3) Minimizing deductions through quality sales that don't result in returns, (4) Building consistent pipeline to hit quota every period, and (5) Negotiating favorable rates based on your track record and market value.
