Salary each, per week$

Monthly commission volume (inc GST, all deals)$

Follows the deal total at the top until you type your own figure. Uses the same aggregator %, GST and scenario mix.

Weekly salary bill 3 admins	$7,500
Monthly salary bill	$32,500
Annual salary bill	$390,000
Solara net retained / month	$0
Residual profit / month	$0
Residual profit / year (×12)	$0

Solara’s retained share doesn’t cover the salary bill at this volume — see break-even below.

TAKE-HOME	Base salary /mo	+ 50% residual /mo	Total /mo	Annual (×12)
Mark & Airlie (FUFA household)	$0	$0	$0	$0
John	$0	$0	$0	$0

Break-even: Solara needs about $0/month in gross commission for its retained share to cover the salaries (before any deal-writing income the principals earn separately).

Indicative and fully adjustable. Salaries are per-person base income, so the FUFA household (Mark + Airlie = 2 people) draws two salaries and John one; residual profit then splits 50/50 by equity. GST treatment with an aggregator (RCTI) can differ — confirm order of operations with your accountant. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
