Brokerage Split
Comparison™
Compare what two brokerage models cost at your production level—and see which one leaves more commission income in your business.
Compare the economics—not just the headline split
The best split is the one that works at your production level.
Enter annual gross commission income before brokerage deductions. This financial comparison does not assign a dollar value to coaching, leads, brand, culture, technology, or support.
This calculator provides planning estimates only and assumes all entered GCI is subject to the stated split until the company-dollar cap is reached. It excludes taxes, commission timing, post-cap royalties, sliding tiers, team splits, franchise-specific rules, benefits, leads, support, culture, and other nonfinancial value unless entered as a fee. Verify the actual brokerage agreements before making a decision.
What the number means
A better headline split can still produce a worse outcome.
Your real brokerage cost is the company dollar retained before the cap plus every recurring, transaction, and annual fee.
Compare at the same production
Use identical GCI and transaction assumptions so the financial difference is meaningful.
Count every brokerage cost
Include caps, monthly charges, transaction fees, technology, franchise, and other required expenses.
Price the nonfinancial value
Ask whether leads, support, coaching, culture, or brand justify the calculated difference.
The brokerage model is only one layer
See what each individual closing actually pays you.
Use the Commission Take-Home Calculator™ to account for the split, fees, referrals, and expenses inside a specific transaction.
