1. What is the Agent Commission Calculator?

The Agent Commission Calculator determines how much each real estate agent earns from a property sale when the commission is split among multiple agents. It calculates both the total commission and the individual agent's share.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the commission formula:

Where:

• Sale Price — The final selling price of the property
• Total Commission Rate — The percentage commission agreed upon
• Number of Agents — How many agents are splitting the commission

Explanation: First calculates the total commission from the sale price, then divides it equally among all participating agents.

3. Importance of Commission Calculation

Details: Accurate commission calculation ensures fair distribution among agents and helps in financial planning for both agents and agencies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sale price in dollars, commission rate as a percentage (typically 5-6%), and the number of agents sharing the commission. All values must be positive numbers.
