How to Use the Commission Calculator

This Commission Calculator is designed to help real estate agents and brokers quickly determine their gross commission earnings from a property sale. Follow these simple steps to get accurate results:

1. Enter Property Value: Input the final sale price of the property. This should be the total agreed-upon price between buyer and seller before any deductions.
2. Set Commission Rate: Enter the commission percentage that you've negotiated with your client. Common rates range from 5-6% in most markets, but this can vary by location and property type.
3. Calculate: Click the "Calculate Commission" button to instantly see your gross commission amount.
4. Review Results: The tool will display the exact commission amount you'll earn before any team splits, broker fees, or tax deductions.

Pro Tip: Use this calculator during listing presentations to show clients exactly what they'll pay in commissions and to set clear expectations about your compensation. For net earnings calculations, use our Team Split Calculator to account for splits with your brokerage or team members, and our Tax Deduction Calculator to estimate your take-home pay after taxes.
