Realtor Commission Calculator

Have you ever wondered how much your real estate agent earns when your home sells or how much you’ll actually take home after paying their fee?
That’s exactly what this Realtor Commission Calculator helps you figure out.

It gives you a quick, accurate estimate of real estate commissions and your net proceeds, using up-to-date rates from all 50 U.S. states.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious, this tool makes it easy to understand what’s really happening with those numbers.

When you sell a home, you usually pay a percentage of the sale price to your real estate agents as a commission.
That fee is shared between the listing agent (the one who sells your home) and the buyer’s agent (the one who brings the buyer).

In the U.S., commission rates are often between 5% and 6%, but they can change depending on your state, property type, and what you negotiate with your agent.

For example:

Home Price	Commission (5%)	Commission (6%)
$100,000	$5,000	$6,000
$500,000	$25,000	$30,000
$700,000	$35,000	$42,000

That’s a big difference – and that’s why using this calculator is so useful.

It only takes a few seconds to use:

1. Enter the home’s sale price: type how much your house sold (or will sell) for.
2. Select your state: each state has different average rates, so the calculator adjusts automatically.
3. Set the commission rate: it’s usually around 5% or 6%, but you can enter any rate your agent agreed on.
4. Click “Calculate” : and you’ll instantly see:
   • Total commission amount
   • Listing agent share
   • Buyer’s agent share
   • Estimated closing costs and taxes (if you choose to include them)
   • Your net proceeds: what you’ll actually take home after paying all fees.

That’s it. The calculator does all the hard math for you – no spreadsheets, no guessing.

Here’s how it looks in real life:

• If your home sells for $100,000 at 5.5%, the total commission is $5,500.
• If your home sells for $500,000, the total commission is $27,500.
• If your home sells for $700,000, at the same rate, the commission is $38,500.

The calculator also lets you adjust the rate – so you can see how much you save if you negotiate a lower fee with your agent.

The Realtor Commission Calculator uses simple math behind the scenes:

Sale Price × Commission Rate = Total Commission

It then divides that commission between the listing and buyer’s agents.
If you turn on closing costs and taxes, it subtracts those amounts to show your net proceeds – what you’ll receive after all deductions.

Selling or buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make.
This calculator helps you stay informed and confident at every step.

It helps you:

• See how much you’ll pay in agent commissions
• Understand what your agent earns on your sale
• Compare commission rates between states or agents
• Estimate how much money you’ll take home after all costs
• Make better decisions before signing a contract

You don’t have to guess anymore – the numbers are right in front of you.

Selling a home is stressful enough without wondering what you’ll actually take home.
This calculator gives you real numbers before you even meet your agent.

You’ll know:

• What you’ll likely pay in agent fees
• What your agent earns from the sale
• How much you’ll keep after the deal closes
• If your agent’s rate is fair for your state

It takes out the guessing and helps you make smarter decisions.

• Always ask your agent if their rate is flexible – many are open to negotiation.
• Rates vary from one state to another.
• Higher-priced homes often come with slightly lower percentage rates.
• Know your contract before signing – it should clearly list your total commission.

If you sell your home for $500,000 at a 5% total commission, here’s a typical breakdown:

• Total commission: $25,000
• Listing agent: $12,500
• Buyer’s agent: $12,500
• Estimated net to seller: $475,000 (before taxes and other closing costs)

With this calculator, you can instantly see what changes if the rate becomes 4.5% or 6%.

Helpful Tips

Commission rates are negotiable – always ask your agent about flexible options.

State rules vary – some areas have higher or lower averages.

Higher-priced homes often have lower percentage rates (but still higher dollar amounts).

Always read your listing agreement carefully before you sign.
