1. What is the KW Commission Calculator?

The KW (Keller Williams) Commission Calculator helps real estate agents in Australia estimate their earnings based on property sale price, brokerage commission rate, and their individual split agreement.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard commission formula:

\[ Commission = Sale\ Price \times \frac{KW\ Commission\ Rate}{100} \times \frac{Agent\ Split}{100} \]

Where:

\( Sale\ Price \) — The final sale price of the property in AUD
\( KW\ Commission\ Rate \) — The percentage commission charged by Keller Williams (typically 2-3%)
\( Agent\ Split \) — The agent's percentage share of the commission (typically 60-80% for newer agents)

Explanation: The calculation first determines the total commission, then applies the agent's split percentage to determine their personal earnings.

3. Understanding Real Estate Commissions

Details: In Australia, real estate commissions are typically 1-4% of the sale price, with Keller Williams agents receiving a portion based on their experience level and performance. The split percentage often increases as agents gain experience and production volume.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the property sale price in AUD, the KW commission rate (as a percentage), and your personal split percentage (as agreed with your brokerage). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical KW commission rate in Australia?
A: Rates vary but are typically 2-3% of the sale price, though this can be negotiated based on property value and market conditions.

Q2: How does the split percentage work?
A: New agents might start with a 60/40 split (agent/brokerage), while top producers can earn 100% of their commissions after reaching certain caps.

Q3: Are there additional fees?
A: Some brokerages charge additional fees for administration, marketing, or desk space. These are not included in this calculation.

Q4: Is commission calculated before or after GST?
A: In Australia, GST is typically added to the commission amount, so this calculation represents the pre-GST commission.

Q5: How often are commissions paid?
A: Commissions are usually paid after settlement, which can be 30-90 days after the sale is agreed.
