commissions

Fees for sales

Commissions are fees paid for services, typically calculated as a percentage of a transaction: The realtor's commission was six percent.

Sales professionals often work on commission rather than salary.

A commission is also an official charge to perform a task, or the body given that charge: a presidential commission on immigration.

Military officers receive commissions granting their rank.

To commission something is to formally order its creation: The city commissioned a mural for the plaza.
