What is non commissionable rates?

The NON commissionable rate means that if booked by a travel agent, there would be no commission. This is to your benefit.



A non-commissionable rate (often called a "Net Rate") is a wholesale price offered by a hotel or travel provider that does not include a built-in "cut" for a travel agent or third-party seller. In 2026, these rates are common in B2B transactions where a tour operator buys rooms in bulk and adds their own markup before selling to the public. For example, if a hotel’s standard "Retail" or "Commissionable" rate is $200, it might include a 10% commission ($20) for the agent. If the hotel offers a "Non-Commissionable" rate of $170, the agent receives $0 from the hotel but has the freedom to charge the customer $190 and keep the $20 difference as profit. Non-commissionable elements can also appear on a final bill as "Non-Commissionable Revenue," which includes items like taxes, resort fees, and service charges. Travel professionals in 2026 must be careful when booking these, as they require a separate service fee or markup to ensure the agency remains profitable, as the supplier will not send a commission check after the guest checks out.

For example, a sales rep may receive an 8% commission rate until they close 100 deals. After the 100th deal, they then start earning an 11% commission rate. This can also be arranged based on the dollar amount. This compensation structure is great for top performers and sales reps who are highly motivated.
