Enter a sales amount and commission percentage to calculate the gross commission for that transaction. The formula is the sale amount multiplied by the rate expressed as a decimal.
Commission Earned = Sale Price * (Commission Rate / 100)Calculates gross commission revenue. If there is a deal split, multiply by the split percentage (e.g. 50% to broker, 50% to agent).
Input the total Sale Price of the closed transaction.
Convert your Commission Rate percentage into a decimal (e.g. 3% becomes 0.03).
Multiply the sale price by the decimal rate to find your total Gross Commission.
If your agreement includes a split, calculate that separately from the gross commission shown.
The calculator multiplies the sales amount by the commission rate entered by the user. It reports gross commission before taxes and expenses.
Actual compensation plans may use tiers, thresholds, caps, chargebacks, team splits, bonuses, or different rates by product. Your written compensation agreement controls.

A commission split is an agreement between an agent and their brokerage defining how earned commission is divided. For example, a **70/30 split** means the sales agent retains 70% of the commission fee, and the supporting agency receives 30% to cover overhead costs.
In real estate, commissions are traditionally paid by the home seller and divided between the listing agent's brokerage and the buyer agent's brokerage. The agent then shares their portion with their respective broker based on their pre-agreed splits.
A flat commission pays a fixed percentage or dollar amount on all sales. A tiered model increases your commission percentage rate as you hit higher sales thresholds (e.g. 5% on the first $10,000, and 8% on everything exceeding that limit) to reward top performers.
The result is before taxes, expenses, broker or team splits, thresholds, tiers, caps, bonuses, returns, and chargebacks. Compare it with the written compensation agreement before relying on it as expected pay.
