The Commission card on the Overview tab shows what this deal earns, step by step. Commission is entered on the Details tab under Agency & Commission, the Buying Agent Commission Rate and its Rate Type (% or $).
#How it is worked out
- 1
Gross commission = the rate × the offer amount (or the sale price once entered), or the flat $ amount.
- 2
Minus any referral fee, then the franchise / royalty % = the adjusted gross.
- 3
The agent’s split % of the adjusted gross = the agent share.
- 4
Minus the E&O fee, transaction fee and team split = net to agent.
- 5
The company share = adjusted gross − net to agent − team split.
Every deal on the Commission dashboards has Show working, which shows these steps with its own numbers. The full rules, with a worked example, are in How commission is worked out.
#Estimate, Locked, Closed
| Badge | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate | Before Under Contract | Worked out from today’s plan and tier |
| Locked | At Under Contract, if the agent has a commission plan | The plan and tier the agent was on at that moment are fixed for this deal. With no plan, the deal stays gross only |
| Closed | At Closed Won | The figures are final, corrections are adjustments |
| Voided | At Closed Lost | The deal does not count |
#Buttons on the card
- Edit terms — the referral fee (and who it is paid to) and a co-agent with their share.
- Commission rate — opens Details → Agency & Commission to enter the rate.
- Override (broker only, from Under Contract until Closed Won, with a reason) and Adjustment (broker only, after Closed Won). Brokers find the card on the agent’s deal under the Commission tab of their read-only view.
On a dual-agency deal, the listing and the offer each count their own side’s commission.
