What is the average retail commission percentage?

Answer by  June77 (292)

Retail establishments vary dramatically because the good you sell vary dramatically. Five and ten percent commissions are common in department stores and clothing stories.

This is going to vary greatly among regions and retailers. It is more important to remeber that regardless of whether you're earning an hourly rate, straight commission, or an mix of both, your total hourly earnings must be at least equal to the federal or state minimum wage (whichever is higher).

Average retail commission percetages vary from 1 1/2 to 10 percent. You'll see a higher percentage on shoeware sales than you will find on items in large retail stores.
