1. What is the Commission Calculator?

The Real Estate Agent Price Calculator Tool calculates the commission earned by an agent based on the sale price of a property and the agreed commission rate. It provides a quick and accurate way to determine earnings from property sales.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the commission formula:

Where:

• \( Sale\ Price \) — Final selling price of the property
• \( Rate \) — Agreed commission rate (as decimal)

Explanation: The calculation is straightforward multiplication of the sale price by the commission rate.

3. Importance of Commission Calculation

Details: Accurate commission calculation is crucial for real estate agents to understand their earnings, for brokers to determine splits, and for sellers to understand costs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sale price in your local currency and the commission rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.05 for 5%). Both values must be positive numbers.
