Commission

Definition of "Commission"

Charge paid to a person for services performed, usually based on a percentage of the amount received from the transaction (typically the total sales price). However, a commission may be based on other factors such as profitability. A commission is different from salary, which is a constant amount paid to an employee on a recurring basis.
