Estate Agent Commission Calculator

Calculate estate agent commission and VAT from a sale price, or work backwards from the owner's net amount to determine the required sale price.

Understanding Estate Agent Commission

Commission Rates

Estate agent commission rates vary by country and are typically negotiable.

VAT on Commission

Estate agents registered for VAT must charge VAT on their commission. The VAT is calculated on the commission amount, not the sale price.

From Sale Price

When you know the sale price, this mode calculates how much commission and VAT will be deducted, showing you the final amount the seller receives (owner's net).

From Owner's Net

If you know how much the seller wants to receive after all deductions, this mode calculates the required sale price to achieve that amount after commission and VAT.

Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered financial or legal advice. Actual commission rates, VAT, and other fees may vary based on individual agreements, property type, and local regulations. Please consult with your estate agent or legal advisor for precise figures.
