# Simple Commission
**Simple Commission** in affiliate marketing refers to a straightforward commission structure where affiliates earn a fixed percentage or flat amount for every sale, lead, or action they refer. It does not involve complex tiers, bonuses, or multi-level calculations—making it easy to track and understand.
For example, if an affiliate earns a 10% simple commission on sales, and a referred customer makes a $100 purchase, the affiliate receives $10.
Simple commissions provide affiliates with a fixed payout for each sale or action they refer, offering a straightforward and predictable earning structure without requiring them to meet specific sales targets or thresholds.
