Commission is negotiable and is agreed before the agent starts work. CEA sets no rates. Payment goes to the estate agency, not the agent, and an agent cannot be paid by both sides of the same deal.

Estimates only. The signed estate agency agreement decides what is payable.

How The Figures Are Worked Out

For a sale, the commission is the agreed percentage of the transacted price, or a fixed sum. For a rental it is usually stated as a number of months of rent, or a fixed sum. If the estate agency is GST-registered, 9% GST is added on top and the client pays both. If it is not registered, no GST is charged.

Where two agencies co-broke, the share passed to the other agency comes off first. What is left is split between the agency and the agent according to the agent's own agreement. GST does not belong to either of them.

There is no standard rate. CEA states that there are no fixed commission rates and no prescribed guidelines, and that the amount and terms are to be agreed between client and agent before work starts. Use this page to show a client exactly what an agreed figure means in dollars.

Assumptions And Limits

Commission is negotiable. The Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) says there are no fixed commission rates and no prescribed guidelines. The starting figures in this tool are placeholders to be replaced with the rate actually agreed, not a suggested or market rate.
GST of 9% (the rate since 1 January 2024) is added only if the estate agency is GST-registered. The commission you enter is treated as the amount before GST.
The co-broke share and the agent's split are both worked out on the commission before GST. GST collected is passed to IRAS and is not income for the agency or the agent.
Commission is paid to the estate agency, not to the individual agent. An agent may not collect commission from more than one party in the same transaction.
Ignores the agent's income tax, agency fees, marketing costs and any tiered or capped split in the agent's agreement with the agency.
