WHAT COULD YOU ACTUALLY EARN?
Move the sliders. Every number below updates live. Nothing is hidden — the maths is spelled out further down the page.
One hour = one booked call.
How many days you take calls.
Setters get 3–7%. Closers get 10–15%.
The price of the thing you're selling.
How many of the people who show up buy.
We hold the show rate at 55%. That's how many booked calls actually turn up — it's the one number you don't control.
Before tax. Based on 87 booked calls, 48 people showing up, and 14.3 closes per month.
This is a model, not a promise. Your actual earnings depend on the offer, the lead quality, and how quickly you get good on calls.
How the maths works
FOUR STEPS. THAT'S THE WHOLE THING.
Commission income looks mysterious until you see it written out. It isn't. It's one chain of four numbers, and every number in the calculator above is one link in that chain.
Booked calls
One call hour means one appointment in your diary. Four hours a day, five days a week is twenty calls a week. A month isn't exactly four weeks — it's 4.33 — so that's about 87 booked calls a month.
Who actually shows up
Not everyone turns up. People forget, get cold feet, or get pulled into something else. Across the industry roughly 55% of booked appointments actually happen. So 87 booked calls becomes about 48 real conversations.
Who buys
Your close rate is measured against the people who showed up, not everyone who booked. A beginner sits around 20%. A steady closer sits around 30%. So 48 conversations at 30% is about 14 sales.
What you get paid
You get a percentage of what the customer pays. On an $8,000 offer at 12.5%, that's $1,000 in your pocket per sale. Fourteen sales is $14,000 for the month, before tax.
A worked example
ONE NORMAL CLOSER. ONE NORMAL MONTH.
No unicorn numbers here. This is an ordinary closer, on an ordinary offer, working an ordinary week.
Halve the hours and you halve the income. Sell a $15,000 B2B offer instead and one sale pays what two used to. That's the entire lever system — hours, offer size, close rate, commission.
The honest bit
WHAT THE CALCULATOR CAN'T TELL YOU.
Month one is not month six
Your first month is learning the offer, the script and the objections. Expect a fraction of the number above. Most people hit the model somewhere in month two or three.
No-shows are not your fault
Some weeks the show rate is 70%, some weeks it's 40%. That's the company's marketing, not your ability. Judge yourself on what you do with the people who turn up.
Commission is pre-tax
Most closers are self-employed contractors. Put a chunk aside for tax — Self Assessment in the UK, 1099 in the US — and remember there's no holiday pay or sick pay.
Lead quality changes everything
The same closer will do 35% on a great offer with warm inbound leads and 15% on a weak one. Choosing the right company matters as much as your skill on the call.
Nothing on this page is a promise of income. It's a model built from typical industry averages so you can sanity-check any offer that lands in front of you.

FAQ
EARNINGS QUESTIONS. STRAIGHT ANSWERS.
How much do remote closers make?
Most full-time closers on a $6,000–$10,000 offer land somewhere between $5,000 and $15,000 a month once they're up to speed. A part-time setter is usually $1,500–$4,000. Top performers on bigger B2B offers go well past that. It's commission, so it moves with the offer, the leads and your skill.
What commission is normal in remote sales?
Setters typically get 3–7% of the deal. Closers typically get 10–15%. On a $8,000 offer that's roughly $400 per deal as a setter and $1,000 per deal as a closer.
Do remote closers get a base salary?
Usually no. Most closers work as self-employed contractors paid purely on commission. Some larger companies offer a small retainer, but the commission is where the money is, and pure-commission roles are far easier to get hired into with no experience.
How long until I'm actually earning?
Getting placed generally takes weeks, not months. Then expect a ramp: month one is learning the offer and the script, month two is where the numbers usually start to look like the calculator, and month three onwards is where consistency shows up.
What is a show rate and why does it matter?
The show rate is the percentage of booked calls where the person actually turns up. It's normally around 55%. It matters because your diary is not your income — only the people who show up can buy, so eight booked calls is really four or five conversations.
What is a good close rate for a remote closer?
On warm inbound calls, 20% is beginner territory, 30% is solid, and 40%+ is top-10% work. Close rate is measured against the people who showed up, not everyone who booked.
Is this calculator a guarantee of earnings?
No. It's a model built from typical industry averages. It shows you how the maths works so you can sanity-check any offer you're given. Your real earnings depend on the company, the lead quality and your own skill.
