Perform research to find a realistic figure. Use your current earnings as a baseline. Contrast your current earnings with what you feel your current professional worth is in your job market, and allow for a range of flexibility with that number. Hold on to that figure before you offer it.
Before you offer your salary, discuss the benefits you receive from your current employer. Now is fair game to find out what they offer. Share any bonuses or incentives, your commute, retirement packages, stock options, PTO, etcetera. Once you find where they're meeting, exceeding, or wanting, you can adjust your number. Be open, realistic, and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise.

I'm not sure what the base plus commission structure looks like, but I currently make just north of 75k in an all commission-based structure, so I would like to see a 60k salary with the ability to earn an additional 20-25k in commissions. In the end, as long as there is that realistic opportunity for me to increase my bottom line earnings and for future growth, I will be happy.

You are clear and direct on your salary ask, which most hiring authorities should find refreshing! This approach can make the offer/negotiation stage smoother and faster.

In my previous position, I was earning 80,000. There was no Insurance or any type of benefits so I am open, to considering the full package.

Consider providing a salary range instead of a specific number so you don't accidentally pigeonhole yourself (plus, this will make it easier to negotiate later on too). You can also flip the question around and ask the interviewer what they're looking to pay. Nice job!
