  1. Pick a scheme. Percent of all sales, percent only on sales above target, or slabs where the rate rises as more of the target is achieved.

  3. Read and share. See achievement %, the rate used and the incentive for each person, then download a CSV or print the sheet.

Incentive formulas

SchemeFormulaExample (net sales ₹2,40,000, target ₹2,00,000)
% of salesNet sales × %1% = ₹2,400
% above target(Net sales − target) × %2% of ₹40,000 = ₹800
SlabsNet sales × slab % for achievement120% achieved → 1.5% = ₹3,600

Check that the incentive leaves you a profit with the margin calculator and the break-even calculator.

Questions

How do I calculate salesman incentive?

Take each person's net sales (sales minus returns) for the month and apply your scheme: a flat % of sales, a % only on sales above target, or a slab rate based on how much of the target was achieved. Add any fixed bonus for reaching the target.

What incentive % do shops usually give?

It varies by trade and margin. Many small retailers pay well under 2% of net sales, or a slab that starts only after 80% of target. Keep the incentive well inside your gross margin; the break-even and margin calculators help you check.

Should returns be deducted?

Yes. Paying on gross sales rewards pushing items that come back. Deduct returns made in the same period.

Slab or % above target: which is better?

A % above target is cheap and pushes for extra sales; slabs reward steady performers too. Write the scheme down and show it to staff before the month starts.

Can RichBills calculate incentives?

RichBills has no incentive module. On Dukaan Plus its Staff Sales report gives each staff login's bills, sales, discount and returns for any date range, which you can put into this calculator.

Is incentive part of salary for PF or ESI?

That depends on how it is paid and on current labour rules. Ask your CA or labour consultant before you fix the scheme.
