About This Broker Split Calculator
A broker split calculator helps real estate agents compare different brokerage commission structures such as 70/30, 80/20, or other custom split models. Since real estate income is commission-based, understanding how your brokerage split affects your take-home pay is essential.
This real estate broker split calculator allows you to compare two brokerage models side-by-side. By entering your sale price, total commission percentage, and split percentages, you can instantly see which structure produces higher earnings per deal.
Choosing the right brokerage split can significantly impact your annual income. Even small percentage differences in commission splits can result in thousands of dollars in earnings over time.
How Real Estate Commission Splits Work
In a brokerage split model, the commission earned on a transaction is divided between the agent and the brokerage. For example:
A 70/30 split means the agent keeps 70% of the commission and the broker receives 30%.
An 80/20 split means the agent keeps 80% of the commission.
Some brokerages combine splits with annual commission caps.
To calculate your net commission:
Multiply the sale price by the commission percentage.
Apply your agent split percentage.
Subtract any referral or brokerage fees if applicable.
Using a broker split calculator ensures you understand how different brokerage structures affect your earnings before committing to a model.
Why Comparing Brokerage Models Matters
When evaluating brokerage options, agents should consider:
Commission split percentage
Annual commission cap
Referral deductions
Transaction fees
Production volume
High-producing agents may benefit more from capped or higher split models, while newer agents may value support or training structures. This broker split comparison calculator helps you analyze your potential earnings and choose the structure that best supports your income goals.
