Commision and raise seemed reasonable (5,2)

I believe the answer is:

added up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seemed reasonable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'commision and raise' is the wordplay.
'commision' becomes 'added' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'raise' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'added'+'up'='ADDED UP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for added up that I've seen before include "Made sense of" , "seemed reasonable" , "Reckoned" , "Totalled" , "Totted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
