How to calculate a 0.5% real estate agent commission?
Commission = 0.5% × sale price. As a decimal: 0.005 × price. Example: 0.5% of $500,000 = $2,500.
Detailed answer
Convert 0.5% to 0.005 (divide by 100), multiply by the home’s contract price. Splits between brokers, flat fees, or tiered schedules are contractual—this is the raw percentage slice. Basic Percentage with 0.5 and your sale price matches the tool.
Relationship context
List-side and buy-side splits apply after the gross commission is known; each side’s share is another percent or fraction of that gross.
Worked example
Basic Percentage: 0.5%, Number = sale price (example 500,000).
