Net Multiplier Formula
The following formula can be used to determine the appropriate NET Multiplier for the commission amount.
In this example, we are using a 12% commission amount.
-
Base Price Percentage: 100% Rate - 12% Commission = 88% Base Price Percentage
Subtract the Commission Percentage from 100% to determine the Base Price Percentage.
-
Base Price Divisor: 88 / 100 = 0.88
Divide the Base Price Percentage by 100 to convert it to a fraction.
-
Retail Price: $100 / 0.88 = $113.64
Divide 100 by the Base Price Divisor to determine the Retail Price for 100.
Round to 2 decimal places.
-
Multiplier: (100 / 0.88) / 100 = 1.1364
Divide 100 by the Base Price Divisor and then divide by 100 to determine the Multiplier.
Round to 4 decimal places.
-
Gross Rate: $100 * 1.1364 = $113.64
Multiply 100 by the Multiplier determined in Step 4 to confirm the same Retail Price (Gross Rate) is reached as in Step 3.
