What will you really earn at 75% of quota? OTE calculator

Put in the base, the variable pay at target and the quota, and see what you take home from 50% to 150% of quota, with an accelerator, a cap or a floor.

$90,000 at 75% of quota

Your OTE is $100,000: $60,000 base and $40,000 at target, a 60/40 mix.

The variable works out at 5% of sales, and the quota is 8 times the OTE.

Base, variable at target, quota and where you'll land

It takes a minute, and the answer changes as you type.

  1. 01Put in the base salary and the variable pay the plan says you'll earn at 100%.
  2. 02Then the quota, and where you think you'll finish: 75%, 100% or more.
  3. 03Add an accelerator, a cap or a floor if the plan has one, and read the table.

Compare the pay at 75%, not just the OTE

The sums behind the default numbers. Put the same numbers in and you'll get the same answer.

  • A $60,000 base and $40,000 at target is a $100,000 OTE, a 60/40 mix.

  • On an $800,000 quota, $40,000 at target is 5% of sales. Finish at 75% and you've sold $600,000 and earned $30,000, so $90,000 in all.

  • At 50% of quota it's $80,000, and at 125% it's $110,000.

  • With an accelerator of 1.5 times above quota, 125% pays $115,000.

Accelerators, caps and floors change the sum

They're in the pay plan, never in the job ad. Add the ones your plan has.

  • An accelerator pays a higher rate above 100%. At 1.5 times, each dollar over quota pays 7.5% instead of 5%.
  • A cap stops the variable at a set level. Capped at 150%, a 175% finish pays the same as 150%.
  • A floor pays nothing below it. With a 50% floor, a 40% finish pays the base and nothing more.

Run it before you sign, and again when the plan changes

Put two offers in one after the other, and compare them at the same 75%.

  • 01Before you accept a job offer with an OTE in it
  • 02When two offers have different pay mixes
  • 03When next year's plan comes out
  • 04Mid-year, with where you think you'll finish

OTE is one outcome. Plan for the others.
