They Don't go on the balance sheet unless they are currently earned but owed at a later date. When paid out at the time they are earned they would be assigned to the Income & Expense statement as an expense to "sales commission's Expenses". The only time they would show up on the balance sheet if they were earned but not yet paid out then they would be credited to the Accounts Payable column in current liabilities as maybe "sales commisions owing" against a debit to the expense account ......... expense account - sales commissions $xxxx Dr - liability account - Sales Commissions owing $xxx Cr

Under current U.S. accounting standards, gross profit is the difference between net sales revenues and cost of goods sold over a given period of time. Net income is gross profit less all other business expenses incurred or paid during a particular period of time. Both gross profit and net income appear as separate line items on an income statement. Generally, the "bottom line" is net income after taxes. "Earned income" is an income tax concept which refers to income that comes from the taxpayer's sale of goods and services - so for an individual (who "sells" his labor to his employer in return for a paycheck), "earned income" would include wages, commissions and other compensation. Unearned income would include interest, dividends and other items that are not compensation.
