I'm trying to calculate the commission i've paid by looking at profit figure only but struggling badly.

If for example, I know that my profit on a market was 701.96 and that my commission rate is 4.5% how do I calculate the amount I paid in commission?

Thanks in advance

Go to 'My Account' then 'Account Statement'


Or,

701.96/100

*4.5

=31.59 commision

Thanks but have downloaded to spreadsheet so don't want to go into each record.

I paid 33.08 according to My Account, but I can't work out how to calculate from profit figure
Report Rocket to the FACE • June 10, 2010 9:44 AM BST
you paid a little over 4.5%. it'll average at 4.5% but individual bets will go above and below this

in your statement it should tell you the exact %.

should be about 4.72% or something?
Report joesdad • June 10, 2010 10:01 AM BST
just checked and account statement says: Comm Charged 4.5%
Report Rocket to the FACE • June 10, 2010 10:02 AM BST
copy and paste the line from your statement

Comm Charged 4.5% On Net winnings of GBP735.04   - - - (33.08)

Net winnings of 735.04 not 701.96

So

735.04/100
*4.5

=33.08
Report joesdad • June 10, 2010 10:19 AM BST
yes sorry for confusion, spreadsheet does not give net winnings figure so trying to derive commission paid from profit figure of 701.96 only
Report Rocket to the FACE • June 10, 2010 10:21 AM BST
I'm getting confused.

If your net winnings on a market were 735.04 and you're on 4.5% then you pay 33.08 commision which gives you a net profit of 701.96


Is that what you need to know??
Report joesdad • June 10, 2010 10:34 AM BST
ha ha sorry

I have a figure on a spreadsheet showing my net profit for each market, in this case 701.96

What I need to know, without checking my account statement each time, is what commission I paid, knowing only that I was on 4.5% and my net profit/loss figure for each market.
Report Rocket to the FACE • June 10, 2010 10:57 AM BST
(701.96 * 100)/95.5


That what you're meaning?

The 95.5 is 100% - 4.5%

Then take that answer away from the original to find the commision you paid.

Sorry other way around, take the original away from the answer
