For example, in a commission with an 80%/20% split, the 20% is what the agent contributed to the company.

Commission allocation: A starting gross commission % for an agent. If there is only 1 agent usually he will have a commission allocation of 100%.

Commission Plan: A commission plan is created and can then be assigned to an agent (or agents). Within each plan, deductions and the agent/company commission splits are set up and configured. When creating a new transaction and assigning an agent to a side, that agent will then need to be assigned a commission plan. The commission plans can also be edited on a transaction-by-transaction basis if any small changes need to occur within a specific transaction. Those changes will not be saved into the commission plan template, only in that particular transaction.

Not Less Than/Not to Exceed: Found within all deductions and splits, this sets hard minimums and/or maximums to any amount determined within a deduction or a split.

Percentage of Commission Allocation: Found in Pre-Split deductions to the Agent, this is a starting gross commission % for an agent. If there is only 1 agent, usually they will have a commission allocation of 100%. If two agents are splitting equally, then each will have 50% share of the commission allocation for the side.

Percentage of Commission Basis: Found in Pre-Split and Post-Split deductions and as a base for a sliding scale. Commission basis can be defined as side income minus any pre-commission deductions from the brokerage. It is a gross commission amount assigned to that agent from their award allocation %.

Percentage of Price Sold: A percentage of the agreed sales price of the transaction.

Percentage of Remaining Balance: A percentage of the running total within a transaction as deductions are removed from the initial commission total. As each deduction is removed, this balance adjusts to a new “remaining balance.” This is very useful when creating sliding scales, tiered commission plans, and multiple deductions which follow an order of priority. It is also the only way a transaction which causes the Agent to cross a Cap can be pro-rated and accounted for within the deal, as soon as the Cap is crossed.

Percentage of Side Income: Found in Pre-Commission Deductions and Splits, % of side income is the award allocation for the side (listing or buying). The difference between side income and commission basis is that a commission basis can be reduced if any pre-split deductions take place. Commission basis can be defined as side income minus any pre-commission deductions from the brokerage.

Pre-Commission Deduction: Always paid by the Company. These deductions are taken out of the commission prior to any split.

Post-Commission Deduction: Always paid by the Company. These deductions are taken out of the company’s portion of the commission after the commission has been split between the agent and the company.
