Frequently Asked Questions
How is sales commission calculated?
Multiply the sale amount by the rate: 3% on a $400,000 home sale is $12,000. Split arrangements and brokerage fees then divide that figure among the parties.
What is a typical commission rate?
Real estate historically ran 5–6% split between agents (now often negotiated lower); car sales 20–25% of gross profit; SaaS sales commonly 8–12% of contract value.
How do tiered commissions work?
A higher rate applies above a threshold to reward overperformance: e.g. 5% on everything plus 3% extra above $50,000. Enter the bonus tier below to model it.
