Input Fields and Their Purpose
Input Fields and Their Purpose
- Property Price: The total sale price of your property. This is the amount at which your property is sold and is used to calculate the commission based on the provided rates.
- Base Commission Rate: The commission rate applied to the first $400,000 sale price. This rate is typically higher and covers the initial portion of the property’s value.
- Additional Commission Rate: The rate applied to any amount above $400,000. This rate is usually lower and applies to the remaining balance of the sale price.
- Additional Fees: Any extra costs related to the sale, such as marketing fees, administrative fees, or other charges that may not be included in the commission rate. These fees are added to the total commission to provide a complete estimate of your costs.
Calculation Formula and Methodology
Our calculator uses the following formula to determine your Commission:
- Base Commission: This is calculated based on the sale price of your property, which is up to $400,000, and the base commission rate.
- Formula: Base Commission = Property Price (up to $400,000) × Base Rate
- Additional Commission: This is calculated for the portion of the sale price exceeding $400,000 and is based on the additional commission rate.
- Formula: Additional Commission = (Property Price – $400,000) × Additional Rate
- Total Commission: The total Commission is the sum of the base commission, additional Commission, any extra fees, and GST.
- Formula: Total Commission = Base Commission + Additional Commission + Additional Fees + GST
By inputting the sale price, commission rates, and any additional fees into the calculator, you will receive an accurate estimate of your total Commission. This will help you plan your sale effectively and avoid unexpected costs.
