How to calculate the cost per real estate commission?

The total commission amount can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Commission Amount (C) is:

§§ C = \left( P \times \frac{R}{100} \right) + F §§

where:

  • § C § — total commission amount
  • § P § — property price
  • § R § — commission percentage
  • § F § — additional fees

This formula allows you to calculate the total commission that will be paid to the real estate agent based on the property’s selling price and the agreed-upon commission rate, along with any additional fees that may apply.

Example:

  • Property Price (§ P §): $200,000
  • Commission Percentage (§ R §): 5%
  • Additional Fees (§ F §): $1,500

Total Commission Amount:

§§ C = \left( 200000 \times \frac{5}{100} \right) + 1500 = 10000 + 1500 = 11500 §§
