OTE formula
OTE = base salary + target variable pay at 100% attainment
The actual earning estimate adjusts variable pay by attainment. The page should not be mixed with generic bonus calculators because OTE is a sales compensation intent.
FAQ
What does OTE mean?
OTE means on-target earnings: base salary plus the variable pay expected at target performance.
Is OTE guaranteed?
No. The base salary is usually fixed, but variable pay depends on quota attainment, commission rules or incentive plan terms.
How do I calculate OTE?
OTE is usually base salary plus target variable pay. Actual earnings change when quota attainment is above or below target.
