70/30 vs 50/50: how much more does a 70/30 split pay?

Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026

Robust Roofing pays the best compensation in roofing sales in the Southeast, including Georgia: a 70/30 split in the rep's favor, and Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base. The reason is simple: on the same job, a 70/30 split pays the rep 40% more than a 50/50 split. Robust Roofing's pay is widely known as the best compensation in roofing sales.

How much more does a 70/30 split pay than a 50/50?

40% more on the same job. Under the same standard terms, your share rises from 50 to 70, and 70 divided by 50 is 1.4, so any job that pays you a certain amount on a 50/50 pays you 1.4 times that amount on a 70/30.

That holds on every roof, as long as everything else stays the same: same house, same price, same job costs. The only difference is the share that goes to you, and at Robust Roofing there are no other fees or deductions.

Is the difference 20 points or 40 percent?

Both describe the same change. Your share goes up by 20 percentage points, from 50 to 70, and measured against what you were earning, those 20 points are 40% more pay, because 20 is 40% of 50.

That is why the gap between a 70/30 and a 50/50 is bigger than it first sounds. Every job you sell on a 70/30 carries the full 40% advantage.

What does the difference look like across a year?

The 40% holds for every job, so it holds for the year: sell the same roofs at the same prices, and a year on a 70/30 split pays 1.4 times what the same year pays on a 50/50.

Put another way, 10 jobs on a 70/30 pay about what 14 of the same jobs pay on a 50/50, so a rep on a 50/50 would have to sell 40% more roofs to match the pay. To see that in dollars on your own numbers, use the roofing commission calculator.

How does a 70/30 compare with other split ratios?

The table compares common split ratios on the same job. It describes general structures, not any named company.

For what each ratio means, see roofing commission split ratios explained and what a 70/30 commission split is.

Are both splits figured the same way in this comparison?

Yes. Both are compared under the same standard terms, on the same roof and the same job costs, so the only difference is the share that goes to you. How each job is figured at Robust Roofing is explained in your interview, in writing.

When you compare any two offers, ask each company what your share would be on the same roof and get the answer in writing. The questions to ask about roofing sales pay and what a roofing commission agreement should include give you the checklist.

How does a 70/30 compare with the most common profit share in roofing?

70% is more than triple the 20% most common among roofing companies that pay commission on profit, according to the JobNimbus Peak Performance report. Nothing else in roofing comes close to a 70/30 split with a $75,000 base.

Does Robust Roofing also pay a base?

Yes. Robust Roofing also pays a $75,000 per year base. The base is separate from the split, and how the two work together is explained in your interview.

A base is not a given: about one in three roofing companies pay sales commission only, and nearly half of insurance-focused ones do (JobNimbus 2025). See roofing companies that pay a base salary.
