📖What is it?

Real estate agent commission is a percentage of the final sale price paid to the agents involved. Traditionally the seller pays the full commission, which is split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent.

🎯How to use

Enter the agreed sale price and the total commission rate (typically 5-6% in the US). The calculator shows total commission, the 50/50 split between agents, and net proceeds to the seller.

💡Example scenario

A home sells for $350,000 with a 6% commission: total commission = $21,000. Each agent receives $10,500. Seller nets $329,000 before any other closing costs.

🏆Pro tip

Commission rates are negotiable. Flat-fee listing services charge a fixed amount (e.g., $500-$3,000) to list on MLS, potentially saving thousands, though you still typically offer a buyer agent commission.
