How hard is this commission plan to audit?

Enter the shape of the plan. The checker returns a score, the edge cases to test, a sample payout matrix, and the rules that get lost in a spreadsheet.

It runs in the browser. It does not ask for names, deal amounts, or an account. The score is a rubric, not a benchmark and not a savings claim.

Number of reps

Number of plans

Tiers and accelerators

Splits and overlays

Clawbacks or draws

Mid-period plan changes

CRM and payroll sources

Approvals and disputes

Complexity score

Edge cases to test

Rules that are difficult to audit in Excel

Sample payout matrix

Synthetic examples at a $10,000 deal size, using the options you selected. Not a customer payout.
Rep	Attainment	Rate	Credit	Payout

When software is worth a look

Use the score as a filter. A low score means stay in the sheet. A high score means the next conversation is whether the rules can be versioned and explained. The score does not estimate savings. CompDay’s list price is $10 per payee per month. Fit and scope are confirmed on a demo.

The whole model

How the 16 points are counted

Each input adds 0, 1, or 2. Nothing is weighted by industry, and nothing is compared with another company.

0 to 4: Excel can hold it. 5 to 9: Excel holds until a reconstruction. 10 to 16: the audit surface is the problem.
Input	0 points	1 point	2 points
Reps	1 to 5	6 to 20	21 or more
Plans	1	2	3 or more
Tiers	One rate	One threshold	Multiple accelerators
Splits	None	Occasional	Regular, or an overlay
Clawbacks or draws	None	Sometimes	Part of the plan
Mid-period changes	None this year	Rare	Most cycles
Data sources	One	Two	Three or more
Disputes	No extra review	A manager signs off	Reps dispute numbers

When Excel is enough

The conditions where a workbook is still the right system, and where a larger commissions product is a better fit than CompDay.

Read the boundary

Mid-quarter plan changes

What to do with deals dated before and after the edit, and which quota dollars were already counted.

Read the sequence

Splits and clawbacks

Credit versus commission, overlays, and a refund that arrives after payroll copied the total.

Read the cases

The process checkup asks where the work is still manual. This checker asks whether the plan itself is hard to re-explain.
