How is the commission invoice calculated?
1. Bonuses are deducted from the commission Instead of issuing separate invoices for bonuses/campaigns and compensation, these benefits are reflected in a commission discount. Simply put, the commission is reduced by the value of the campaigns/bonuses and compensation to ensure a clearer billing process. Using the before- and- after images below as an example, you would previously have a commission of €416.91 and separate bonus lines of €11 on your invoice, totaling €361.92. Now, you only have a single commission line for €361.92, meaning the calculation was pre-calculated. 2. Discounts to passengers are deducted from the commission Passenger discounts are now also reflected on travel invoices. To offset this reduction, we've deducted this amount from the commission. This results in a lower commission and ensures your earnings aren't affected. he major advantage of this transition is administrative simplification . Instead of dealing with numerous invoices, we've streamlined the process into a consolidated invoice. Because all adjustments happen in the background, the commission invoice displays a single line with the final commission amount. In practice, we've grouped all items in commission invoices (such as bonuses, passenger discounts, booking fees, and tolls) into a single line for a simpler look. Let's look at an example: - Trip price: €10.00 - Passenger discount: 10% (€1.00) - Commission: 25% (€2.50) - Bonus: €1.00 Previously, the passenger's invoice would be €10.00, our commission invoice would be €2.50, and the payment would be €8.50 (€10.00 trip price - €2.50 commission + €1.00 bonus). Four invoices would be needed: trip, commission, bonus, and discount. With the new method, the passenger's invoice is €9.00 (€10.00 trip price - €1.00 discount), while our commission invoice is €0.50 (€2.50 commission - €1.00 bonus - €1.00 discount), and the payment is exactly the same (€8.50). With this new method, only two invoices are required (trip and commission).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
In months where the sum of passenger discounts, bonuses and compensations is greater than the total monthly commission, we have nothing to invoice as these amounts are deducted from the commission.
But don't worry! When your commission value exceeds the value of bonuses/campaigns/compensations and passenger discounts, the invoice issued will reflect the month in which you didn't receive an invoice.
