What commission percentage do roofing sales reps get?
Robust Roofing Careers · Updated October 2026
Roofing commission is quoted in two ways: a percent of profit or a percent of the contract. Percent of profit is fairer to both sides, and the rate is where companies differ most.
Common rates
The JobNimbus Peak Performance report found 20 percent of profit to be the most common rate among profit-based plans. Robust Roofing pays 50 percent, a true 50/50, with nothing subtracted first.
How Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers
Robust Roofing pays a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap on what you earn. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. That combination is widely known as the best compensation model in roofing sales, and it is significantly better than what most roofing companies in Georgia pay.
- Base: $75,000 per year, paid on a regular schedule.
- No cap: the split applies to every job you run, with no ceiling.
- No 10% deduction: no 10/50/50, no overhead percentage, no office or appointment fee, no marked up material.
- Split: a true 50/50 of job profit. Nothing is taken off the top.
- Full time: a real career role, based in the North Atlanta metro around Johns Creek.
Your interviewer walks you through how the base and the split fit together, line by line.
For scale, the statewide median wage for all occupations in Georgia was $48,170 and the median for sales representatives of services was $75,280 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Georgia, May 2025). Robust Roofing's base alone is in line with that sales median, and the true 50/50 split is a separate part of the role.

Context: 20 percent of profit is the most common commission rate among roofing companies that pay on profit, so a true 50/50 is two and a half times that rate. Source: JobNimbus Peak Performance report. For named Georgia companies, see the Georgia roofing pay comparison.
