About Commission Calculator
Commission Calculator works out how much a sale actually pays you once the commission rate, any broker or agency split, and a base salary are factored in. Enter the sale amount and commission percentage, and it applies commission = sale amount × rate to find the raw commission. If you split earnings with a broker or agency, enter the percentage you keep to see the after-split amount, and add an optional base salary to see total earnings and the effective rate. It's useful for real estate agents comparing commission plans, sales reps checking a payout before closing a deal, or anyone estimating take-home pay before signing an agreement. These are estimates only and not financial or tax advice — confirm figures with a qualified professional. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Common errors & troubleshooting
- The commission rate was entered as 0.03 instead of 3, producing a commission far smaller than expected. — Enter the rate as a percentage number, such as 3 for 3%, not as a decimal fraction.
- A 50/50 broker split was entered as 50 but the after-split figure still shows the full commission. — Confirm the split field holds the percentage you personally keep — leaving it at 100 means no split is applied.
- Total earnings look too high compared to the commission alone. — Check whether a base salary or draw was left filled in from a previous calculation; clear it to see commission-only earnings.
- The effective rate doesn't match the commission percentage entered. — The effective rate reflects total earnings — including any split and base salary — divided by the sale amount, so it can differ from the raw commission rate.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the Commission Calculator compute?
- It computes the raw commission on a sale, the amount after any broker or agency split, total earnings including an optional base salary, and the effective rate as a percentage of the sale amount.
- How does the Commission Calculator handle a broker split?
- Enter the percentage you personally keep in the split field — for example 50 for a 50/50 split. Leave it at 100 if you keep the full commission with no split.
- Can the Commission Calculator handle a real estate commission?
- Yes. Enter the home sale price as the sale amount and the agreed commission percentage, then apply your brokerage split to see your actual take-home on the sale.
- What is the effective rate shown by the Commission Calculator?
- It is total earnings — after-split commission plus any base salary — divided by the sale amount, expressed as a percentage. It shows your real payout rate on the sale, not just the quoted commission percentage.
- Does the Commission Calculator include tax withholding?
- No. It calculates gross commission and earnings before taxes. These are estimates only and not financial or tax advice — actual take-home pay depends on withholding and your tax situation.
- Is my sale data uploaded when I use the Commission Calculator?
- No. The Commission Calculator runs entirely in your browser. The sale amounts and rates you enter never leave your device and are not uploaded to ArrayKit.
