How to Use the Real Estate Commission Calculator
This tool calculates the total commission and splits between agents based on the sale price and commission rate. Follow these steps:
- Enter the Sale Price – Input the property's sale price in dollars (e.g., 500000). Use numbers only, no commas.
- Set the Commission Rate – Enter the total commission percentage (e.g., 6 for 6%). Must be between 0 and 100.
- Adjust Agent Splits – Enter the percentage each agent receives from the total commission (e.g., 50 for 50%). Both splits must total 100% for accuracy, but the calculator does not enforce this.
- Click "Calculate" – Press the button or hit Enter to see results.
- Total Commission – The full commission amount (Sale Price × Commission Rate / 100).
- Listing Agent Commission – The seller's agent share based on the seller split percentage.
- Buyer's Agent Commission – The buyer's agent share based on the buyer split percentage.
- Net to Seller – The amount the seller receives after deducting the total commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Total commission is calculated by multiplying the sale price by the commission rate (as a percentage). For example, a $500,000 sale at a 6% commission yields $30,000.
The splits determine how the total commission is divided between the buyer's agent and the seller's agent. Typically, it's a 50/50 split, but it can vary based on agreement.
Net to seller is the amount the seller receives after paying the total commission. It is the sale price minus the total commission.
