Real Estate Commission Calculator

Work out your take-home commission on a closing in seconds. This Realtor commission calculator takes the sale price and commission percentage, then subtracts your referral fee, brokerage split, transaction fees, the FMLS fee and any other deal expenses — so you see the real agent income from the sale, not the gross number on the settlement statement.

What this commission calculator works out

Most agent commission calculators stop at gross commission: sale price multiplied by the commission percentage. That number is rarely what lands in your bank account. This take-home commission calculator follows the same order a closing does.

  1. 1. Gross commission. Sale price × commission percentage. On a $500,000 sale at 3%, that is $15,000.
  2. 2. Referral fee. Any percentage owed to a referring agent or relocation company comes off first.
  3. 3. Other income before the split. Transaction or administrative fees paid to you are added in before the brokerage split is applied.
  4. 4. Brokerage split. Enter the percentage your brokerage keeps. On an 80/20 split, the brokerage keeps 20%.
  5. 5. Broker and transaction fees. Flat per-deal fees your brokerage charges after the split.
  6. 6. FMLS fee. For Georgia agents on FMLS, 0.12% of the sale price.
  7. 7. Other deal expenses. Photography, staging, closing gifts, marketing — anything you paid to get the deal closed.

What is left is the amount you actually keep from the closing, before income tax.

How agents use it

Before you take the listing

Model a price range and a commission percentage to see whether the deal is worth the marketing spend once your split and fees come out.

Planning your income

Multiply your average take-home commission by the closings you expect to see whether your annual income goal is realistic.

Checking a closing statement

Run the numbers before you get the check so a surprise fee does not go unnoticed.

Setting aside tax

Knowing your real net per deal makes it far easier to reserve the right percentage for estimated taxes. Estimates only — this is not tax advice.

Track every closing, not just one deal

This calculator handles a single closing. CommissionKeep is a real estate commission tracker that keeps the whole year: every deal and closing, your business expenses by category, an estimated tax reserve, and progress toward your annual take-home income goal — on your phone, between showings.
