What is 80/20 split

An 80/20 commission split is a common arrangement in various industries, particularly in sales and real estate. In this context, it typically refers to the division of commissions earned between two parties, often a service provider (such as a salesperson or real estate agent) and their employing entity (such as a brokerage or employer).

Here’s a breakdown of how an 80/20 commission split calculator works:

  • 80% to the Service Provider: In an 80/20 split, the service provider, who is usually responsible for generating sales or deals, receives 80% of the total commission earned. This portion is their compensation for the work, effort, and skills they contribute to the business.

  • 20% to the Employer or Brokerage: The remaining 20% goes to the employer or brokerage that provides the platform, support, and resources for the service provider. This portion represents the compensation for the infrastructure, administrative support, and other resources that enable the service provider to conduct their work effectively.
