🤝 Real Estate Commission Calculator
Calculate the total real estate agent commission on a home sale and see how it splits between listing and buyer’s agents.
How real estate commission works
Real estate commission is typically a percentage of a home’s final sale price, paid by the seller at closing out of the sale proceeds. That total commission is usually split between the seller’s (listing) agent and the buyer’s agent, though exact rates and splits are fully negotiable and vary by market and brokerage.
How this calculator works
The calculator multiplies the sale price by the total commission rate to get the total dollar commission, then divides that between the listing agent and buyer’s agent according to the split percentage you enter. Seller net proceeds shown here are before other closing costs such as transfer taxes, title fees, or loan payoff — it reflects only the sale price minus commission.
Commission rates and splits are negotiable and can vary significantly by region and brokerage; the values here are for illustration and general planning purposes only, not a quote or guarantee.
