1. In Plans, create a folder for the marginal payout rule.
    
    We recommend that you save all the items related to this rule in a convenient, shared location.
2. Create the range table according to your commission payout scenario.
3. Create a data filter that determines which deals the calculation applies to, or use a prebuilt data filter, such as ClosedInPeriod.
    
    See [Create a Data Filter in Salesforce Spiff](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.spiff_data_filter_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create data filters in Salesforce Spiff without writing any code.").
4. Create a datasheet in the same rule folder as the range table, specify an object and select the data filter you created, and add required fields.
    
    See [Create a Datasheet in Salesforce Spiff](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.spiff_datasheets_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Analyze your data in new ways when you create and apply calculations to a specific set of filtered data.").
5. In the datasheet, add a calculated field that uses the `mpercent()` function to return the commission rate.
    
    See [mpercent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.spiff_function_ref_mpercent.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Returns the commission rate for a deal in Salesforce Spiff, based on a range table and the rep's current attainment. To return a commission total amount instead, use the mamount() function.").
6. In the datasheet, add columns for the accumulated ARR and the ARR amount before the deal closed, and turn on **Accumulated** in the right panel.
    
    See [Turn on an Accumulated Variable in Salesforce Spiff](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sales.spiff_accumulated_variable_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Analyze sales data and identify trends and patterns with accumulated variables.").
7. Optionally, create an accumulated variable for the `mpercent()` function's initial\_value argument.
8. In the datasheet, add a Commission column that multiplies the calculated rate by the ARR.
9. Add a payout rule to a plan. Name the rule and select the field for the commission amount.
10. Calculate the statement.
