Straight Piece Rate Pay Straight Piece Rate Pay Gross pay = Number of units produced x Rate per unit Ryan Foss produced 900 dolls. He is paid $.96 per doll. Calculate his gross pay 900 x $.96 = $864
Differential Pay Schedule Differential Pay Schedule Gross pay = Number of units produced x Various rates per unit Logan Company pays Abby Rogers on the basis of the following schedule: Units Amount produced per unit 1-50 $ .50 51-150 .62 151-200 .75 Over 200 1.25 Last week Abby produced 300 dolls. What is Abby’s gross pay? (50 x $.50) +(100 x $.62)+(50 x $.75) + (100 x $1.25) = $249.50
Straight Commission with Draw Logan Company pays Jackie Okamoto a straight commission of 15% on her net sales (net sales are total sales less sales returns). In May, Jackie had net sales of $56,000. Logan gave Jackie a $600 draw in May. What is Jackie’s gross pay? Commission is a certain percentage of the amount a salesperson sells. Draw is an advance on the salesperson’s commission ($56,000 x .15) = $8,400 -600 $7,800

Up to $35,000 4% Excess of $35,000 to $45,000 6% Over $45,000 8% ($35,000 x .04) + ($10,000 x .06) + ($115,000 x .08) = $11,200
