Real Estate Commission Calculator
In real estate transactions, understanding commission breakdowns is important for both agents and sellers. The Real Estate Commission Calculator helps you determine the total commission on a property sale and the agent’s share based on the commission split.
Formula
- Total Commission = Sale Price × (Commission Rate ÷ 100)
- Agent Commission = Total Commission × (Agent Split Percentage ÷ 100)
How to Use the Real Estate Commission Calculator
- Enter the sale price of the property.
- Enter the agreed commission rate as a percentage.
- Enter the agent’s split percentage (usually 100% if the agent gets all the commission, or less if split with broker).

Example
If the sale price is $400,000, commission rate is 6%, and agent’s split is 70%:

- Agent Commission = 24,000 × 0.70 = $16,800
