Results are estimates for planning and education. Confirm rates, taxes, fees, and legal requirements with the relevant institution or a qualified professional before making a financial decision.

Formula and method

A 5% commission on a sale price of 1,000 is 50. Adding that amount gives 1,050; subtracting it gives proceeds of 950 before other adjustments.

Commission = sale price × rate; amount after commission = sale price − commission

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Not necessarily. Adding a percentage of the starting price differs from grossing up a target net amount when the fee is charged on the final sale price. This calculator shows the former arithmetic.
  • Use consistent periods, currency and accounting definitions. The result follows the stated formula and the figures you supply.
