Calculate commission from gross
This commission type lets you calculate the agent price based on an agent commission which will be subtracted from your gross price. Your gross price will be calculated as per the usual setup of net + markup = gross. Then the agent commission percentage will be subtracted, leaving you with the price that is payable by your agent.
With this setting you are sharing your earnings with your agent.
Please note that in this scenario the markup field will not show your take home earnings. As your take home earnings will be difference between the added markup and the subtracted agent commission.
