How much commission do your placements earn after threshold, splits and tiers?
Credited billings = the fees billed in the period × your share (100% unless the deal is split). Commission = your rate × the credited billings above the threshold. With a second tier, the first rate applies between the threshold and the tier start, and the second rate to everything above. We also show your effective rate on credited billings and, if you enter the number of placements, the average fee per placement.
Example plan: no commission on the first AED 30,000, then 20%.
| Billings | Deal ownership | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| AED 25,000 | All yours | AED 0 |
| AED 120,000 | All yours | AED 18,000 |
| AED 120,000 | 50/50 with a colleague | AED 6,000 |
Splitting a large quarter halves your credited billings, but the threshold still comes off first — so commission falls by more than half.

Most agency plans pay a percentage of the fees a consultant bills above a threshold, measured monthly or quarterly. Some add higher tiers as billings grow, and many split credit when two consultants share a placement (one owns the client, the other the candidate). The exact numbers are set by each agency — enter yours.
The billings you must reach in a period before commission starts — often linked to your salary cost. Below the threshold you earn nothing for that period; above it you earn the commission rate on the amount over it.
When two consultants share a placement, the fee is credited between them — commonly half each, but your plan decides. Choose 'Shared with a colleague' and enter your share to see your credited billings.
It depends on the plan. Many agencies pay only once the client has paid, and claw back commission if the hire leaves within the guarantee period. Enter the billings your plan counts for the period.
