Control the commission cycle without living in spreadsheets.
KickSplit gives owners and admins a clearer way to build commission plans, review sales data, run commissions, manage incentives, resolve payout questions, and prepare payroll-ready exports.
Commission admin gets risky when the process depends on spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets handle simple plans. They start breaking when the team grows, the plans get more structured, and every payout question needs a documented answer.
One spreadsheet becomes mission-critical
Every cycle depends on formulas, copied tabs, manual checks, and institutional memory. When something breaks or the admin is unavailable, the whole cycle stalls.
Changes are hard to explain
When plan rules, sales context, incentives, and adjustments live in different places, every payout question takes longer to answer — and every answer is harder to document.
Payroll handoff carries too much uncertainty
Owners and admins need confidence before statements and exports go out — not a manual double-check of every line item before sending to payroll.
One control path for the work admins already do.
KickSplit organizes the commission cycle into a connected workflow — plan setup, sales review, run control, and resolution — instead of separate spreadsheets and tracking systems.
Plan setup
Sales review
Run control
Resolution + export
From plan design to payroll-ready output.
Five structured steps that cover the full commission cycle — from plan setup to payroll-ready output.
Build the plan
Create commission structures that fit the team instead of bending the team around a spreadsheet. Standard plans, margin-aware options, bonuses, SPIFs, and overrides all live in the same builder.
Review sales inputs
Check assignments, source, cost, margin, and status before commissions run. Fix what needs fixing before it affects the payout output.
Run and review commissions
Calculate payouts, review outputs across all plan types and incentive layers, and lock finalized results when the cycle is ready.
Resolve questions
Keep payout questions tied to sales, runs, statements, and admin responses — not scattered across chat threads and email.
Export with clarity
Prepare payroll-ready exports with compensation categories preserved — base commission, bonuses, SPIFs, and overrides stay distinct.
Everything the commission cycle needs in one workflow.
Six connected areas that cover the work owners and admins already do — in one place instead of across separate tools and spreadsheets.
Commission plans
Build standard, margin-aware, bonus, SPIF, override, and other plan shapes without spreadsheet formula dependencies.
Sales data
Review imported, CSV, manual, and rep-submitted sales records before they feed into commission calculations.
Cost and margin context
See cost of sale, gross profit, and margin signals before payout output — particularly relevant for margin-aware commission plans.
Run review
Calculate, review, and lock commission runs with a structured process instead of manual spreadsheet reconciliation.
Questions and disputes
Respond to payout questions without chasing context through chat threads — disputes stay tied to sales, runs, and statements.
Statements and exports
Keep payout outputs clear for reps, admins, finance, and payroll — compensation categories preserved through the whole cycle.
Less payout chaos. More operating control.
KickSplit is built around the admin view of commissions — not just the rep view or the payout output, but the full workflow from plan to payroll.
Cleaner review
Owners and admins can review the commission cycle before it becomes final output — sales, plan logic, incentives, and run results in one place.
Better visibility
Sales, plans, incentives, statements, and disputes stay connected to the same compensation workflow instead of scattered across separate files.
Fewer surprises
Payout questions are easier to answer when the context is organized before payroll — not reconstructed after the fact from memory and old emails.
Cleaner handoff
Payroll-ready exports preserve compensation meaning instead of flattening everything into one number — base commission, bonuses, SPIFs, and adjustments stay distinct.
- Build and manage plans, run commissions, and push payroll exports in one place
- Every question stays tied to the right sale, run, and admin response
- Commission categories stay clear from calculation through payroll
