How Real Estate Commissions Work by Country

Commission structures vary significantly across markets. Use the country selector above to switch between calculation modes.

United States

Typically 5–6% total, split between listing and buyer's agent. Following the 2024 NAR settlement, buyer agent fees must be negotiated in writing before home tours.

Canada

Typically 3.5–5% total, varies by province. HST/GST applies to the commission. Ontario averages around 4–5%, BC around 3–4%.

Australia

Seller pays 1.6–2.5% + GST (10%). No buyer agent commission in traditional transactions. Rates are lowest in capital cities, higher in regional areas.

United Kingdom

Estate agent fee is 0.75–3% (excluding VAT). Only the seller pays — there is no buyer's agent. VAT at 20% is added to the quoted fee.

Germany

Since 2020, the Maklercourtage (3–7% incl. VAT) is split equally between buyer and seller by law. Each pays half to their respective agent.
