About this tool
Most commission calculators stop at sale price times rate. This one carries the number all the way to your bank account: total commission, the listing/buyer side split, your brokerage split, flat franchise fees, and dual agency. Everything runs in your browser.
The formula
Total commission = sale price × total commission rate. Your side = total × listing-side share (or the full amount under dual agency). Net to you = (your side × your brokerage split) − flat brokerage fees.
Worked example
On a $450,000 sale at 5.5% total commission, the full commission is $24,750. Split evenly, the listing side is $12,375. On a 70/30 brokerage split you keep $8,662, and after a $500 franchise fee you net $8,162.
Benchmarks
| Metric | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total commission | 5–6% of sale price | Always negotiable; varies by market and price band |
| Listing vs buyer side | Usually a 50/50 split | Uneven splits are increasingly common post-2024 |
| New agent brokerage split | 50/50 to 60/40 | Agent share rises with production |
| Experienced agent split | 70/30 to 90/10 | Often with a cap after which the agent keeps 100% |
| Flat franchise fee | $250–$800 per transaction | Charged on top of the percentage split |
How it works
- Enter the sale price. The agreed contract price for the property.
- Set the total commission rate. The full commission charged on the sale, typically 5–6%.
- Set the listing-side share. How the commission divides between the listing and buyer sides.
- Enter your brokerage split. The percentage of your side that you keep.
- Add flat fees. Franchise or transaction fees your brokerage deducts.
- Read your net. The result shows total commission, each side, and your take-home.
