It would be very beneficial to have a calculated custom field. For example, it would be nice to automate the calculation of commissions. Here are the custom field calculations that I have in mind:

[Commission Type] * [Deal Amount]

  • (Depending on the Commission Type selected, it calculates different percentages)

    Hi Morgan, I have used Zapier to perform calculations and update the custom field value in Pipedrive.  Might be worth giving that a try.

    Hi @Morgan Tanner - I know this is a late reply here, but I wanted to chime in and second Harj's message. I use Zapier for custom calculations and then update a field in Pipedrive (or you can also store the information elsewhere like in a Commission Google Sheet). If the Commission Type is a field or even based on products, you can do a lookup in a Google Sheet to get the commission %, perform the calculation, and then update the deal. Hope that helps!
