Share of margin paid out
At 120% attainment this rep earns $64,800 — an effective 9.0%. Comfortably inside margin at 15% — the accelerator rewards over-performance without eroding profitability.
Accelerators should pay out of the extra margin over-attainment creates. If commission outruns margin growth, the plan incentivises unprofitable revenue.
