Real Estate Agent Listing Fee Calculator
What a seller pays under different listing arrangements, and what each leaves them with.
Result
Commission is negotiable and the structures have been changing. The saving is real but so is the difference in service: photography, marketing reach, pricing advice, negotiation and managing the transaction all vary between models, and a lower sale price wipes out a commission saving quickly.

About this calculator
Does a cheaper listing mean a lower sale price?
Not necessarily, but it is the risk worth weighing. A 1.5% commission saving is erased by selling 1.5% below what a better marketed listing would have achieved.
Do I still have to offer a buyer agent commission?
It is negotiable and practice is changing. Historically most sellers offered one to attract buyer representation; the arrangements are now more varied and worth discussing explicitly.
The formula
each option's cost, subtracted from sale price along with the payoff and closing costs
