About this calculator

On-Target Earnings (OTE) is the standard figure used in sales compensation to describe total expected pay: base salary + the commission or bonus a rep earns when hitting 100% of quota. It's what recruiters quote in a job offer and what sales leaders use to benchmark compensation plans against competitors.

This calculator takes the base salary and the on-target commission and returns the combined OTE, along with the commission's share of total pay — a figure that reveals how commission-heavy (and therefore how variable and quota-dependent) a compensation plan really is. A rep with a small commission share has a fairly stable income; one with commission making up half of OTE has much more upside, but also much more risk if they miss quota.
