Write a commission or spiff calculation memo

When to use it

When explaining how commissions or spiffs were calculated for a pay period.

The prompt

Copy this, then replace everything in [brackets].

Write a clear memo explaining commission/spiff calculations.
Plan rules: [% of sold/collected, spiffs per membership, clawbacks for recalls/cancellations]
This period: [use tech initials and job totals only]

Explain the rules in plain English, show one worked example, and list any adjustments with reasons. I'll verify all math in payroll.

Before / after

Before: Techs arguing about their check every two weeks.

After (example output):

Rule: 5% of collected revenue on sold repairs + $25 per membership. Example (MR): $8,400 collected x 5% = $420 + 3 memberships x $25 = $75. Adjustment: -$40 clawback, job 4402 refunded.

Tips

• Keep names and pay rates out of the AI. Use initials and totals.
• Paste totals and categories, not raw bank exports with account numbers.
• The AI drafts and organizes. Your accountant or CPA signs off on anything tax-related.
• Review every draft before you send it. You’re accountable for what goes out.
