Commission plans with slabs, kickers and caps

Rebuild the plan your sales head explains on a whiteboard, without formulas buried in a spreadsheet. Slabs, kickers, caps, team splits and clawbacks are building blocks, and every plan can be tested on last month's data before it goes live.

What it does

Inside Plan Builder

Achievement slabs

Flat amounts or percentages at any thresholds, such as 80%, 100% and 120% of target, with linear or stepped accelerators between them.

Kickers and multipliers

Extra pay for focus products, new launches, new accounts or collections, paid on top of the slab or as a multiplier.

Caps and gates

Cap payouts per rep or per period, and set gates such as minimum collection or minimum product mix before any slab pays.

Team splits

Pay area and regional managers on team achievement, rep slab averages or a share of the team pool.

Clawbacks

Returns, cancellations, policy lapses and early churn reduce achievement or recover payout in the following cycle.

Test before publishing

Run a draft plan on any past month and see the payout per rep, total cost and how many reps would move slabs.

Common questions

Asked by sales and finance heads

Can different regions run different plans?

Yes. Each region, division, role or channel can run its own plan. A rep who moves mid-period is paid on each plan for the days spent under it.

Can we change a plan in the middle of a quarter?

Yes. Publish a new version with an effective date. Earlier days are calculated on the old version, later days on the new one.

Do reps see the plan rules?

Reps see a plain summary of their own plan: slabs, kickers and what each is worth. Internal cost settings stay with admins.
