How roofing sales pay works in Georgia
The five plan types
| Plan | What you earn | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| True 50/50 of profit | Half of the full job profit | Confirm nothing comes off first |
| 10/50/50 | Half of profit after 10 percent comes off, often of the contract | The 10 is the expensive part |
| Lower percent of profit | Often 20 percent, the most common rate (JobNimbus) | What counts as profit |
| Percent of contract | A fixed slice of the sale | The company keeps the margin outside your slice |
| Commission only | Nothing until jobs collect | A slow first few months |
Bases and draws
A base gives you income while jobs move through the claim and the build. A draw advances pay against commission; ask whether it is repaid and what happens if you leave. Always get the answer in writing.
Caps
Some plans lower the split at volume or cap bonuses. The best plans have no cap.
What public wage data says
Georgia's median annual wage was $48,170 for all occupations and $75,280 for sales representatives of services in May 2025 (BLS). A $75,000 per year base sits at that sales median before any split.
The plan this guide recommends
Robust Roofing pays its Project Managers a true 50/50 split of job profit with nothing taken off the top, not a 10/50/50, and there is no cap. Robust also pays a $75,000 per year base. Top performers can make upwards of $400,000 a year; that is top-performer potential, not typical pay. How the base and the split work together is explained in the interview.
