Affiliate commission
₹30,000.00
Contribution after affiliate costs
₹50,000.00
Margin after affiliate costs
25%
Commission ceiling for target margin
30%
A negative ceiling means the target is unattainable even with zero commission

The formula

Commission = Net revenue × Commission rate / 100; Contribution = Revenue × Margin / 100 − Commission − Fees; Commission ceiling = Margin − Target margin − Fees / Revenue × 100.

Worked example

₹2,00,000 revenue at 45% margin, 15% commission, and ₹10,000 fees leaves ₹50,000 (25%). To retain 10%, the commission ceiling is 30%.
