Calgary Real Estate Commission Rates

In Calgary, real estate commissions are typically calculated as a percentage of the sale price. The standard commission rate is usually 2.5% to 3%, while luxury properties may have higher rates of 3% to 5%.

Note: Commission rates can vary depending on the real estate board's rules and individual agreements between agents and clients.

How Commission Is Calculated

The basic formula for calculating real estate commission is:

Commission = Listing Price × Commission Rate

For example, if you sell a property for $500,000 at a 3% commission rate:

$500,000 × 0.03 = $15,000

This $15,000 commission is typically split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent, with each receiving half.

Example Calculation

Let's say you're selling a condo in Calgary for $450,000. Using the standard 2.75% commission rate:

$450,000 × 0.0275 = $12,375

This means your total commission would be $12,375, with $6,187.50 going to your agency and $6,187.50 to the buyer's agent.
