1. What is the BC Real Estate Commission Structure?

The British Columbia standard realtor commission structure follows a tiered percentage system based on the sale price of the property. This structure is commonly used by real estate agents across BC for calculating their service fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the BC standard commission formula:

Commission = (7% × first $100,000) + (3% × $100,001 to $200,000) + (2% × over $200,000)

Where:

First $100,000 — 7% commission rate
$100,001 to $200,000 — 3% commission rate
Over $200,000 — 2% commission rate
Sale Price — Total property sale price in CAD

Explanation: The commission structure is progressive, with higher percentages applied to lower price tiers and lower percentages for higher price ranges.
