comisión در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Commission is a fee paid for sales or services, often a percentage.
- It's common in sales, real estate, and finance.
- Used for payments to agents, salespeople, and intermediaries.
- Understand its context to differentiate from salary or other fees.
- Definition
- A commission is a fee paid to a person or company for facilitating a transaction or providing a service, typically a percentage of the sale price. It's a common form of compensation in sales and agency roles.
- Usage in Business
- In the business world, 'comisión' is frequently used when discussing sales targets, employee salaries, and the fees charged by intermediaries. For example, a real estate agent earns a 'comisión' on each property sale, and a salesperson might receive a 'comisión' based on their monthly sales performance. This incentivizes them to sell more.
- Everyday Scenarios
- Beyond formal business, you'll hear 'comisión' in discussions about services where a third party is involved. For instance, if you book a hotel through an online travel agency, that agency might charge the hotel a 'comisión' for the booking. Similarly, when you sell something through an online marketplace that takes a cut, that cut is a 'comisión'. It can also refer to a group of people appointed to do a specific task, like a 'comisión de investigación' (investigation committee).
El vendedor recibió una comisión del 5% por cada coche vendido. comisión.
La agencia inmobiliaria cobra una comisión considerable por la venta de propiedades de lujo. comisión.
- As a Payment
- This is the most common use. 'Comisión' refers to the money earned by someone for making a sale or providing a service. It's usually a percentage of the total value. For example, 'El agente de viajes se lleva una comisión por cada reserva que realiza.' (The travel agent gets a commission for each booking they make.) This highlights the direct link between the service and the payment received.
- In Sales Contracts
- When negotiating employment terms or service agreements, the 'comisión' structure is a crucial detail. A sentence like 'La comisión por ventas se pagará mensualmente.' (The sales commission will be paid monthly.) clarifies the payment schedule. Understanding this is vital for anyone in a sales role or hiring sales staff.
- As a Fee for Services
- Beyond direct sales, 'comisión' can refer to the fee charged by an intermediary for their service. For instance, 'El banco cobra una comisión por la gestión de la hipoteca.' (The bank charges a commission for managing the mortgage.) Here, it's the charge for a financial service. It's important to distinguish this from a simple fee; 'comisión' often implies a percentage or a service that facilitates a larger transaction.
El porcentaje de comisión para los nuevos empleados es del 15%. comisión.
Tendremos que negociar la comisión antes de firmar el contrato de representación. comisión.
- Real Estate Offices
- In Spain and Latin America, real estate agents are very commonly paid through commissions. Conversations in offices or between agents will frequently involve discussions about 'la comisión inmobiliaria' (the real estate commission), 'un porcentaje de comisión' (a commission percentage), or how to structure deals to maximize their 'comisión'. You might hear agents discussing how a particular sale will yield a good 'comisión' or debating commission splits with other agents.
- Car Dealerships
- Car salespeople operate heavily on commission. Discussions about their earnings, sales targets, and bonuses will often revolve around 'la comisión por venta de coches' (the commission for car sales). They might mention how a certain deal has a higher 'comisión' because of the added accessories or financing options, or how they need to achieve a certain sales volume to earn their expected 'comisión'.
- Financial Institutions
- Banks and investment firms often charge commissions for their services. When discussing investment products, loans, or financial advice, you'll hear terms like 'comisión de apertura' (opening commission/fee), 'comisión de gestión' (management commission/fee), or 'comisión por cancelación anticipada' (early cancellation commission/fee). Customers might ask about these fees, and bank employees will explain them.
El corredor de bolsa explicó las comisiones que cobra por cada operación. comisiones.
Mi amigo trabaja en ventas y su sueldo base es bajo, pero gana una buena comisión. comisión.
- Confusing with Salary
- A common mistake for learners is to equate 'comisión' directly with a fixed salary or wage. While some jobs have a base salary plus commission, 'comisión' itself specifically refers to the variable payment earned from sales or services, not the guaranteed income. For example, saying 'Mi salario es una comisión' is incorrect; it should be 'Mi salario incluye una comisión' (My salary includes a commission) or 'Gano una comisión además de mi salario' (I earn a commission in addition to my salary).
- Overusing 'Comisión' for Any Fee
- While 'comisión' can refer to fees charged by intermediaries, it's not a universal term for all types of fees or charges. For instance, a late fee for a bill might simply be called 'un cargo por demora' (a late charge) or 'una multa' (a fine), not necessarily a 'comisión'. Using 'comisión' for every single fee can sound unnatural. It's best reserved for fees related to sales, agency work, or financial transactions facilitated by a third party.
- Incorrect Gender Agreement
- 'Comisión' is a feminine noun, so any adjectives or articles used with it must agree in gender. A mistake might be saying 'un comisión' instead of 'una comisión'. Similarly, adjectives should be feminine, like 'la comisión alta' (the high commission) or 'la comisión justa' (the fair commission). Always remember to use 'una' or 'la' before 'comisión'.
Incorrecto: El vendedor recibe un comisión por su trabajo. comisión.
Correcto: El vendedor recibe una comisión por su trabajo. comisión.
- Pago (Payment)
- 'Pago' is a very general term for payment. While a commission is a type of payment, 'pago' doesn't specify how it's earned. You would say 'El pago del vendedor' (The seller's payment) which could include a salary and commission, but 'La comisión del vendedor' is more specific about the earned portion.
Example Comparison:
'Recibí mi pago hoy.' (I received my payment today.) - General.
'Recibí mi comisión hoy.' (I received my commission today.) - Specific to earned sales/service fees.
- Honorarios (Fees/Honoraria)
- 'Honorarios' typically refers to fees paid to professionals for their services, like lawyers, doctors, or consultants. While it's a payment for a service, it's usually a fixed amount or hourly rate, not a percentage-based commission on a sale.
Example Comparison:
'Los honorarios del abogado son altos.' (The lawyer's fees are high.) - Professional service fee.
'La comisión del abogado por vender la propiedad es del 5%.' (The lawyer's commission for selling the property is 5%.) - Commission on a sale.
- Tarifa (Rate/Fee)
- 'Tarifa' is another general term for a price or a fee. It can be a fixed price for a service or product, or a rate applied. Sometimes, a 'comisión' can be referred to as a 'tarifa' in a broader sense, but 'comisión' specifically implies a payment for facilitating a transaction or sale, often as a percentage.
Example Comparison:
'La tarifa del taxi es fija para ese trayecto.' (The taxi fare is fixed for that route.) - Fixed price.
'La comisión del intermediario es del 2% sobre el valor de la transacción.' (The intermediary's commission is 2% of the transaction value.) - Percentage-based fee for facilitation.
- Porcentaje (Percentage)
- 'Porcentaje' is the mathematical term for a percentage. A commission is very often expressed as a percentage. So, while not a direct synonym, they are closely related. You would talk about 'un porcentaje de comisión' (a percentage of commission).
Example Comparison:
'El porcentaje de descuento es del 10%.' (The discount percentage is 10%.) - General percentage.
'La comisión es un porcentaje del precio de venta.' (The commission is a percentage of the sale price.) - Commission defined by percentage.
- Sobresueldo (Bonus/Extra Pay)
- 'Sobresueldo' refers to extra pay, often a bonus given for performance or as an additional payment beyond the regular salary. While a commission can function as a type of bonus, 'sobresueldo' is broader and can include other forms of extra pay not directly tied to sales volume. A commission is a specific type of 'sobresueldo' related to transactions.
Example Comparison:
'Recibió un sobresueldo por terminar el proyecto a tiempo.' (He received a bonus for finishing the project on time.) - General extra pay.
'Ganó una gran comisión por las ventas de Navidad.' (She earned a large commission from Christmas sales.) - Specific to sales performance.
- Intermediación (Intermediation)
- 'Intermediación' refers to the act of acting as an intermediary or middleman. The 'comisión' is the payment received for this act of intermediation. So, they are directly related concepts.
Example Comparison:
'La intermediación financiera es su negocio.' (Financial intermediation is their business.) - The act of being a middleman.
'La comisión cubre los costos de la intermediación.' (The commission covers the costs of the intermediation.) - The payment for being a middleman.
- Agencia (Agency)
- 'Agencia' can refer to a business that acts as an agent, like a talent agency or a real estate agency. These agencies typically earn 'comisiones' for their services.
Example Comparison:
'Trabaja para una agencia de publicidad.' (He works for an advertising agency.) - The business entity.
'La agencia cobra una comisión por cada cliente que consigue.' (The agency charges a commission for each client it gets.) - The payment received by the agency.
- Comisionado/a (Commissioner)
- This is a noun that is related in spelling but different in meaning. A 'comisionado' or 'comisionada' is a person appointed to a commission (a body of people assigned a task) or an official title, like a police commissioner. It is not the payment itself.
Example Comparison:
'El comisionado de policía presentó su informe.' (The police commissioner presented his report.) - An official title.
'La comisión de investigación entregó sus hallazgos.' (The investigation commission delivered its findings.) - A group of people.
'Recibió una comisión por la venta.' (He received a commission for the sale.) - The payment.
- Comisionar (To commission/To order)
- This is the verb form. It can mean to formally appoint someone to a task (e.g., 'Comisionaron un estudio' - They commissioned a study) or to arrange for something to be made (e.g., 'Comisionó un retrato' - He commissioned a portrait). While related to the idea of assigning a task, it's the action, not the payment.
Example Comparison:
'Le comisionaron para liderar el proyecto.' (They commissioned him to lead the project.) - Appointed to a task.
'La comisión por el servicio fue del 10%.' (The commission for the service was 10%.) - The payment.

Shares the same root 'comisión' and sounds similar.
'Comisión' is the payment or the task group. 'Comisionado/a' is the person who is part of that group or holds an official title related to it. For example, 'La comisión de investigación' (the investigation commission) may have a 'comisionado' (commissioner) leading it.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالA 'salario' (salary) is a fixed amount of money paid to an employee regularly, usually monthly or bi-weekly, regardless of their performance. A 'comisión' (commission) is a variable payment earned based on specific achievements, most commonly sales made or services rendered, and is often calculated as a percentage of the value of those transactions. Many sales jobs have a base 'salario' plus 'comisiones'.
While 'comisión' is very often a percentage of a sale or transaction value, it can sometimes be a fixed amount agreed upon for a specific service or task. However, the percentage-based model is the most common and widely understood meaning in business and sales contexts.
Yes, 'comisión' can also refer to a group of people appointed to perform a specific task or investigation, similar to a committee or commission in English. For example, 'una comisión de investigación' (an investigation commission) or 'una comisión de ética' (an ethics commission). Context is key to understanding which meaning is intended.
Very common phrases include 'cobrar una comisión' (to charge a commission), 'pagar una comisión' (to pay a commission), 'ganar una comisión' (to earn a commission), 'recibir una comisión' (to receive a commission), and 'una comisión del X%' (an X% commission). You'll also hear 'comisión de ventas' (sales commission) and 'comisión inmobiliaria' (real estate commission).
It's used in both. In business, it's fundamental for sales roles and financial services. In everyday life, you might encounter it when booking travel through an agency, buying or selling property, or using certain online platforms that take a cut of transactions. You might also hear about official 'comisiones' (committees) in news or government contexts.
'Comisión' is a feminine noun. Therefore, you should use feminine articles like 'una' (a) and 'la' (the) and feminine adjectives when referring to it. For example, 'una comisión justa' (a fair commission) or 'la comisión es alta' (the commission is high).
Context is everything. If the sentence is about money, sales, or services being provided for a fee, it's likely referring to the payment. If it's about an official body, an investigation, or a task group, it's likely referring to the group of people. For example, 'El vendedor recibió una comisión' (payment) vs. 'La comisión investigará el caso' (group).
While not exact synonyms, related terms include 'pago' (payment - general), 'honorarios' (professional fees), 'tarifa' (rate/fee - general), and 'porcentaje' (percentage - used to calculate commission). The best word depends on the specific context.
'Honorarios' are typically fees for professional services (like lawyers, doctors) usually fixed or hourly. 'Comisión' is usually a percentage of a sale or transaction, common in sales roles or agency work.
Yes, it can be perceived negatively if it's seen as excessively high, unfair, or hidden. For example, 'comisiones ocultas' (hidden commissions) or a 'comisión abusiva' (abusive commission) would be viewed negatively. Also, the payment itself is a cost for the buyer or the company, so it's not purely positive from their perspective.
