What's it called when you make money on the percentage of the total sales you make?

A. Irregular income

B. Commission

C. Gross income

D. Overtime

Answer:

B. Commission

Explanation

A commission is earnings based on a percentage of total sales made. This type of income is common in sales jobs, where employees earn a fixed percentage of each sale they make in addition to or instead of a base salary.

Since commission is directly tied to sales performance, it serves as an incentive for employees to increase their sales.
