About Agent Commission Calc
What this is
Agent Commission Calc is a set of free calculators for figuring out real estate commission: the total dollar amount, how it splits between the listing agent and buyer's agent, what you'd actually take home after closing costs and your mortgage payoff, and how much FSBO could save you.
Where the numbers come from
Average commission rates come from a February 2026 survey of 533 real estate agents by Clever Real Estate, cross-checked against Zillow and St. Louis Federal Reserve market data. Everything else, the math itself, runs entirely in your browser: nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
Why we built the net proceeds calculator first
Most commission calculators stop at one number: the commission dollar amount. That's useful, but it's not what a seller actually wants to know, which is what lands in their pocket after commission, closing costs, and paying off their mortgage. So we built that calculator alongside the simpler commission-only one, instead of treating it as an afterthought.
