Buyer Agent Commission Calculator helps real estate professionals, brokers, and buyers quickly estimate commission earnings on property transactions. Whether you’re working with a traditional split or a negotiated rate, this tool provides instant and accurate results.

Understanding how commission works is essential in real estate deals. Typically, the total commission is a percentage of the property’s sale price, which is then divided between the buyer’s agent and their brokerage based on a pre-agreed split.

This calculator simplifies the process by allowing you to input the property price, commission rate, and agent split percentage. Within seconds, you’ll know exactly how much the agent earns and how much goes to the broker.


🔍 How Buyer Agent Commission Works

  • Commission is usually 2% to 3% of the property price for the buyer’s agent
  • The total commission is often split between buyer and seller agents
  • Agents then share their portion with their brokerage (e.g., 70/30 split)

💡 Example Calculation

  • Property Price: $500,000
  • Commission Rate: 2.5%
  • Agent Split: 70%

Result:

  • Total Commission = $12,500
  • Agent Earns = $8,750
  • Broker Earns = $3,750
