01How it works
How real estate commission works in Ontario.
Commission is negotiable and set in the agreements each brokerage signs. When a sale has two sides, the listing brokerage and the buyer's brokerage each earn a percentage of the sale price, and HST at 13% is added on top.
The commission is paid to the brokerage, which then pays the agent their share under the brokerage split, minus any fees per deal. That share is what the calculator calls your net, before income tax.
Example, at an example rate of 2.5% a side: an $850,000 sale earns each side $21,250, or $42,500 in total, and $48,025 with HST on the total, as the calculator shows. On an 80/20 split with no fees, the agent keeps $17,000 before income tax.

Commission, answered.

How do you calculate real estate commission in Ontario?
Multiply the sale price by each side's commission rate from the agreements, add 13% HST on top, then apply your brokerage split and fees to your own side. For an $850,000 sale at 2.5% a side, each side earns $21,250 before HST.
Is HST charged on real estate commission in Ontario?
Yes. HST at 13% is charged on top of the commission, so the total paid is the commission plus 13%.
How is commission split between the two sides?
The listing brokerage and the buyer's brokerage each earn the rate set in their agreements. The calculator shows each side and the total.
What is a brokerage split?
The share of your side's commission you keep after your brokerage takes its part, for example 80/20. Some brokerages also charge a fee per transaction, which the calculator subtracts.
How can I track my commissions?
In Tanero, every deal in your pipeline carries its commission, pending commissions are listed until you collect them, and ORBIT can sum up your commissions by month or year.
