Margin with commission as part of selling price 2019-02-13
From Anni:
I need to find selling price to put us at 24% margin.
15% commission is based on selling price and is included in our cost.
I'm trying to do it excel and keep getting a circular reference.
Total cost= cost + commission (15% of selling price)
Selling price=total cost + 24% margin

Commission 2010-04-24
From TAHIR:
I want to pre-determine the amount of commission on sale of my product which will be the amount that I shall have to pay .
For example, the price is $ 600and commission 5% .
1) I calculate commission on 600 @ 5% = $ 30
When added $ 600 the retail price = $ 630
2) But on $ 630, 5% commission = $ 31.50
So we make a loss of $ 1.50 .
3) Again if we add this $ 1.50 to $ 630 the price = 631.50
But the commission when calculated does not tally
and we make a loss of $ 0.075.
Please let me know how to determine the commission beforehand so that it matches our accounts.

Actural cost, selling price and commission 2008-02-21
From LiSa:
I have a question about a few things if anyone can answer... ex. actual cost (AC) = $1000 selling price (SP) = $ amount earned for company (C) = 15% of... selling price? commission 1 (C1) = 2.5% commission 2 (C2) = 2.5% How would you calculate how much the company's commission amount would be as well as the amounts for the other 2 that get 2.5%? And what would the selling price be? (the 15% $ + 2.5% $ + 2.5% $ ?) Is the 2.5% taken from the original amount? I am soooo confused! If anyone could help, that would be great!

Markup to include 6% commission 2007-09-07
From Steve:
I estimate the cost to build a house for $250,000.00. I mark it up by 20%: $250,000 x 1.20 = $300,000 base price (BP) without sales commission. I want to set the sale price (SP) to include a 6% commission to pay the real estate fee. After the 6 % fee is paid I want to net the $300,000 base price. The formula is basically: $300,000 + 6% of SP = SP. But I can't figure out how to solve for SP.
