# Commission Estimates

# How Instant Commission Estimates Work

Instant Commission Estimates show you what you'd earn **before** you promote a product — across both Amazon Affiliate and JoyLink Commissions — so you can pick the most profitable deals in seconds.

## Where to see estimates

Every product view in JoyLink shows the estimate:

* In the **Deal Catalog** on each deal card.
* On the **JoyLink detail page** for any link you've created.
* In the **Chrome Extension** when you create a link from an Amazon page.
* On the **Add Product** screen for JoyLink in Bio.

## What the estimate includes

For each product, you'll see:

* **Amazon Affiliate rate** — based on the product's category rate.
* **JoyLink Commission rate** — if available (see "How JoyLink Commissions Work").
* **Estimated earnings per sale** — dollar amount at current price.
* **Best-case earnings** — uses the higher of the two rates.

## How the math works

`Estimated earnings per sale = Product price × applied commission rate`

The **applied commission rate** is the higher of:
* The Amazon Affiliate category rate for the product.
* The JoyLink Commission rate (if the product is enrolled).

## Plan availability

Instant Commission Estimates are shown on **all plans**, including Free.

## Tips for using estimates well

* **Sort the Deal Catalog by estimate** to surface the highest-earning deals of the day.
* Watch for items where JoyLink Commission significantly beats Amazon Affiliate — those are often your best picks.
* Remember that **volume** matters too. A low-price product with a high conversion rate can out-earn a high-price product with few sales.

## Troubleshooting

* **No estimate showing?** The product may be outside a category Amazon rates, or it may not be enrolled in JoyLink Commissions. The link still works — only the estimate is missing.
* **Estimate changed?** Amazon updates category rates periodically, and JoyLink Commission offers can start/end. Estimates always reflect the current rate.
