If multiple users in your HubSpot account are involved in deals, users with Super admin permissions can set up deal splits. When you set up deal splits, you allow users to share percentages of the amount of a deal. The amount received by each user in a deal split affects their forecast.

Deal splits are useful for salespeople who have a quotas and need to get credit for all of their impacted revenue. To include users who have worked on a deal, but don't necessarily need credit for the deal amount, you can add them as deal collaborators. Users can be included both in a deal split and as a collaborator for the same deal.

Turn on deal splits

Users with Super admin permissions can turn on deal splits in the deal settings.

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Objects > Deals.
  • Select the Split deals among users checkbox.

  • In the pop-up box, select Set up deal splits.
  • To set a maximum number of users that can be included in any new deal splits, click the Deal split user maximum dropdown menu and select the number of users.
  • To set a minimum percentage that can be applied to users in a deal split, click the Deal split minimum percentage dropdown menu and select a percentage.

Please note: depending on the number of deals in your account, it can take a few minutes or up to a few hours to fully set up deal splits.

Add, edit, or remove splits on a deal

Once deal splits are turned on in your settings, users with Edit deal permissions can add a split to a deal or edit existing deal splits. To remove deal splits, users must also have Delete deal permissions.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Deals.
  • Click the deal you want to add a split to.
  • In the left sidebar, in the Deal splits section, click Add. A deal must have a value for the Amount property to add a deal split.

    • Click Add deal split. You can now view the users and percentage breakdown on the deal record.

  • In the upper right, click Create custom report.
  • In the left sidebar menu, click Custom Report Builder.
