| Scenario | Deal value | Commission mode | Gross commission | Agent split | Referral | Net payout (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard sale | $350,000 | 3.0% | $10,500 | 70% | 25% | $4,621 |
| High-value sale | $900,000 | Tiered | $22,000 | 75% | 0% | $12,915 |
| Lease deal | $120,000 | $6,000 | $6,000 | 60% | 10% | $2,646 |
Gross commission scales linearly with deal value under percent mode, so small rate changes matter. A 3.0% rate on a 350,000 deal yields 10,500 gross, while 3.5% yields 12,250. On a 900,000 deal, the same half point increases gross by 4,500. Use this section to test realistic price bands and avoid optimistic averages.
Fixed commissions stabilize earnings on low priced transactions, but can underpay on premium deals. Tiered pricing can balance both: for example, 3.0% on the first 100,000 and 2.0% above it produces 22,000 on a 900,000 deal. Compare percent, fixed, and tiered outputs to match your market mix and listing strategy.
Your split defines how the commission pool is divided after referral and brand fees. With a 70% agent split, a 10,500 gross minus 25% referral leaves a 7,875 pool, and the agent share starts at 5,512.50. If an annual cap limits broker take, the calculator reallocates any excess broker portion back to the agent, improving late year payouts.
Transaction fees, desk fees, and marketing charges reduce the agent share before taxes. A 295 transaction fee on a 5,512.50 share cuts taxable earnings to 5,217.50. When combined with recurring desk fees, the break even deal size rises. Enter conservative fee assumptions and review the breakdown table to see which charges dominate.
Taxes are applied to the taxable amount, not the headline gross. At a 20% tax rate on 5,217.50, estimated tax is 1,043.50, leaving 4,174.00 before any additional withholding. If you add fixed withholding for insurance or retirement, net can drop further. Use the net figure for budgeting, not gross commission.
Monthly targets convert net payout into required deal count. If net is 4,174 and the target is 8,000, you need two similar deals to reach goal. When net becomes negative, deals needed is not meaningful, signaling a fee and split problem. Run multiple scenarios, export CSV, and track progress over time. Seasonality can shift deal volume; plan buffers accordingly.
Yes. Referral and franchise percentages are calculated from gross commission first, then removed to form the commission pool used for the split.
If enabled, broker share is limited to the remaining cap for the year. Any broker share above the remaining cap is automatically reallocated to the agent share.
Taxes are estimated on the agent taxable amount after fixed fees. If that taxable amount is negative, the tax estimate is set to zero.
Add them in “Other withholding (fixed)” to reduce the net payout. For recurring charges tied to each deal, include them in transaction, desk, or marketing fees.
Net can be negative when fixed fees and withholdings exceed the agent share or when tax and deductions overwhelm a small commission pool. This signals the deal may not cover costs.
Yes. After running a calculation, download the CSV or PDF. The exports include key inputs and the full payout breakdown for documentation.
