Real estate agent commission calculator

A real estate agent commission is the fee the agent earns for bringing about a purchase, sale or rental transaction. In Poland the standard commission ranges from 2% to 3% of the transaction value and is increased by 23% VAT. The calculator quickly computes the net and gross commission, its split between buyer and seller, and the total transaction cost after the agent fee.

How the agent commission calculator works

The calculator computes the agent commission in three steps: 1. Net commission = Transaction price x (Commission percent / 100) 2. VAT = Net commission x 0.23 (if the VAT option is on) 3. Gross commission = Net commission + VAT Then — depending on the chosen option — the gross commission is assigned entirely to the buyer, the seller, or split in half between both parties. Total transaction cost = Property price + Gross commission (if the buyer or both parties pay).

Example: flat for 500,000 zl, commission 2.5%, both parties

You buy a flat for 500,000 zl. The agent charges 2.5% commission + 23% VAT. Net commission = 500,000 x 0.025 = 12,500 zl. VAT = 12,500 x 0.23 = 2,875 zl. Gross commission = 15,375 zl. If the commission is split between both parties, each pays 7,687.50 zl. The buyer total outlay (price + half the commission) = 507,687.50 zl.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a real estate agent commission in Poland?

The standard real estate agent commission in Poland is 2% to 3% of the transaction value. For larger properties or after negotiation it can be lower. The commission is usually increased by 23% VAT.

Who pays the commission — buyer or seller?

It depends on the agreement. In Poland the commission is often split between both parties in half. There are also agreements where only the seller or only the buyer pays. Always settle this at the start of working with an agent.

Is the real estate agent commission subject to VAT?

Yes. Brokerage is taxed at 23% VAT. If the agent is an active VAT payer, the tax is added to the net commission. The invoice should show the net amount, VAT and gross separately.

Is the commission included in the property price?

No — the commission is an extra cost on top of the transaction price. The buyer must account for it when planning the total property purchase budget.

Can the commission rate be negotiated?

Yes, the agent commission is negotiable. For more expensive properties agencies often agree to a lower percentage. It is also worth checking which additional services are included in the price.

What is an exclusive agreement and how does it affect the commission?

An exclusive agreement means the seller entrusts the sale to a single agency. In return the agency often offers a lower commission and greater effort in promoting the listing.
