Definition

What is commission calculation software?

Commission calculation software turns a written comp plan into rules a system can run. Each closed deal is credited to the right people, tiers, splits, overrides, bonuses and clawbacks are applied automatically, and the result is an itemised payout that goes straight into payroll with its reasoning attached.

01How it works

Three steps, then it runs every cycle

Step 01

Write the plan as rules

Tiers, splits, overrides, bonuses and clawback windows are configured once, per role or region.

Step 02

Deals arrive from your CRM

Closed deals flow in from the systems you already run, so nothing waits on a manual export.

02The problem

Every payout accurate, every cycle, without the Spreadsheets

When your commission rules live in spreadsheets, errors are inevitable. A missed quota threshold, a wrong split credit, a bonus that didn't trigger, and suddenly you're spending hours reconciling instead of paying your team. Sequifi runs the math from structured rules so the numbers are right the first time.

Build the rules once. Sequifi runs them every cycle.

Set up your commission logic, tiers, caps, bonuses, overrides, split credits, once. Every pay cycle, Sequifi applies those rules automatically so your payroll team isn't rebuilding formulas and your employees aren't second-guessing their checks.

03One deal, end to end

From closed to paid

Every deal takes the same five steps. The figure never gets retyped, and each step keeps the reason it changed.

Fig. 01 — One deal, split
ONE DEALSETTER 30%CLOSER 70%OVERRIDE 1.5%
  1. Step 01

    A deal closes in your CRM

    $32,000

    The contract value arrives from the system your team already uses.

  2. Step 02

    The rule for that rep applies

    8%

    Tier 2 of the solar closer plan, reached at 11 deals in the period.

  3. Step 03

    Credit splits between them

    70 / 30

    The closer takes 70 percent, the setter who booked it takes 30.

  4. Step 04

    Manager override is added

    1.5%

    Calculated on the contract value, paid to the regional manager.

  5. Step 05

    It routes into payroll

    $3,040

    The approved figure is the figure that pays, in the next run.

02  ·  Payout Approvals

Finance and managers aligned before anything pays out

Route commission calculations through a structured approval flow before they reach payroll. Sales managers verify employee credits, finance confirms totals, and the approved figure is what routes into payroll.

Approved commissions flow directly into payroll

Once commissions are approved, they route directly into Sequifi's payroll workflow, no re-entry, no copy-paste between systems. The calculation that got approved is exactly what gets paid.

Comparing us with something else

Questions? We're glad you Asked.

Sequifi handles flat rates, tiered commissions, quota-based multipliers, team overrides, manager overrides, split credits between setters and closers, draw and advance recoveries, and performance bonuses. Most home services and mortgage pay structures are supported out of the box or with minimal configuration.

Each payout comes with an itemized statement showing exactly which deals were credited, which rules applied, and how the total was calculated. Employees can see the math, so a question about a payout has an answer attached to it. For anything that escalates, the audit trail gives your team everything they need to resolve it quickly.

Yes. You can build separate commission plans for closers, setters, managers, technicians, or any other role, each with its own rules, thresholds, and payout logic. Multiple plans can run simultaneously across different teams, regions, or product lines.

Sequifi supports clawback rules that automatically reverse or reduce commission when a deal is canceled within a defined period. You set the clawback window and conditions, and the system handles the adjustment in the next pay cycle, no manual tracking required.

Yes. Sequifi connects with CRM and field operations tools to pull deal data directly into commission calculations, so your team isn't waiting for someone to manually enter a sale before their commission is triggered.

Most teams have their core commission rules configured and running within a few days. The setup process walks you through defining your plan logic, and Sequifi's onboarding team helps map your existing structure into the system so nothing gets missed.
