The design principle
Every dollar over the base arrives with a sold job attached to it. There is no ceiling, there is no discretionary bonus, and there is no committee deciding what you deserve at the end of the year. You close more, you make more, and the rate itself climbs as you climb. That is what makes this a hunter's comp plan instead of a salary with a tip jar.
Base — $250 per week
$13,000 a year, paid weekly, whether you close anything or not. This is a floor, not a salary. It is deliberately small because the money in this job is on the other side of the sale.
Commission — tiered on monthly closed installs, retroactive
| Installs closed & paid in the month | Rate per install |
|---|---|
| 1 – 15 | $100 |
| 16 – 30 | $150 |
| 31 and up | $200 |
Retroactive within the month. Hit sixteen and every install that month pays $150, not just the sixteenth. Hit thirty-one and all of them pay $200. On the 27th of the month, sitting on twenty-nine closes, that thirtieth and thirty-first job are worth an extra $1,550 to you.
Margin protection
Full tier rate applies to any job clearing $600 or more in gross profit. Jobs that close under $600 pay a flat $75 regardless of tier and do not count toward tier advancement.
What you actually earn
Assuming 21 working days a month and the tier structure above:
| Closes per day | Per month | Monthly commission | Annual earnings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 11 | $1,100 | $26,200 |
| 1 | 21 | $3,150 | $50,800 |
| 2 | 42 | $8,400 | $113,800 |
| 3 | 63 | $12,600 | $164,200 |
| 4 | 84 | $16,800 | $214,600 |
| 5 | 105 | $21,000 | $265,000 |
Two a day is $113,800. Four a day is over $200,000.
This is a W-2 employee position. Base pay is $250 per week. Commission figures are illustrative examples based on the tier rates above, the stated number of closes per day, and 21 working days a month. They are gross earnings before taxes and are not a guarantee of lead volume, close rate, or earnings. A close is a customer who has paid with an install scheduled. Commission is paid on cleared payment and is clawed back on cancellation or refund. Gross profit per job is calculated on a written formula provided in the offer letter.
