1. What is the KW Commission Calculator?

The KW Agent Commission Calculator helps Keller Williams agents in Australia estimate their net commission after fees for a property sale. It calculates the agent's take-home pay based on the sale price, commission rate, and KW fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the commission formula:

Where:

• Sale Price — The final sale price of the property in AUD
• Commission Rate — The agreed commission percentage
• KW Fees — Any applicable Keller Williams fees in AUD

Explanation: The calculator first calculates the gross commission (sale price × rate), then subtracts the KW fees to give the net commission.

3. Importance of Commission Calculation

Details: Accurate commission calculation helps agents understand their expected earnings, plan their finances, and negotiate appropriate commission rates with clients.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the sale price in AUD, commission rate as a percentage, and any KW fees in AUD. All values must be positive numbers.
