How Much Commission Can I Earn?

Standard gross commissions on most travel products are 10% of the ‘base rate’.
Commissions are calculated on the ‘base rate’ for all travel products. The ‘base rate’ is the total cost of a travel product; minus taxes, service fees, fuel surcharges, port charges or other miscellaneous fees. Taxes, service fees, fuel surcharges, port charges or other miscellaneous fees are non-commissionable.

Hotel Commission Example

The base rate of a hotel booked is $100 per night and the tax rate is 10% causing an effective rate of $110 per night. If a passenger is staying 7 nights at the hotel the total charge for the hotel stay would be $770. The base amount of the hotel is $700 and the taxes are $70. The standard commission of 10% would be earned on the $700 base rate creating a gross commission of $70. The Associate would earn 50% of the $70 commission resulting in a $35 commission payment to the Associate.

Cruise Commission Example

The base rate of a cruise booked is $1,400 per person for a 7 night Alaska cruise, taxes are $180 and port charges are $90 causing an effective rate of $1,670 per person. Two persons traveling together in the same cabin would cost a total of $3,340. The base amount of the cruise for two persons is $2,800 and the taxes plus port charges are $540. The standard commission of 10% would be earned on the base rate ($2,800) creating a commission of $280. The Associate would earn 50% of the $280 commission resulting in a $140 commission payment to the Associate.
