Why Progressive Commission?
Rewards top performers
The more you bill, the higher your rate on additional earnings.
Clear growth path
See exactly how much more GP unlocks your next commission tier.
No earnings cap
Once you hit 50%, you keep earning at that rate with no limit.
Fresh starts
Quarterly resets mean achievable targets every 3 months.
02 / How it works
Progressive.
Not complicated.
Each portion of quarterly GP is paid at its applicable rate. Higher performance unlocks stronger rates on the additional value created.
- 01
Tiered brackets
Like tax brackets, each portion of GP earns at the corresponding commission rate.
- 02
Quarterly reset
A new performance cycle begins every three months, while commission is paid monthly.
- 03
No cap
Reach the highest bracket and keep earning that rate on every additional dollar of GP.

04 / Common questions
Read the
fine print.
What counts towards GP?
Permanent placement fees and contract margin count towards GP. Split deals use your agreed share.
Is commission capped?
No. Once you reach the highest bracket, additional GP continues to earn commission at that rate.
How is this different from a flat rate?
The progressive structure increasingly rewards the extra value created by high performers.
Is there a threshold?
The Change structure pays from the first dollar. Use the calculator to model a threshold at your current agency.
When is it paid?
Commission is calculated and paid monthly against invoiced GP.
