Real Estate Commission Calculator Canada
This real estate commission calculator hub covers every Canadian province, because realtor fees don’t work the same way across the country. Flat-rate provinces quote one percentage, tiered provinces charge about 7% on the first $100,000 and far less on the balance, and the tax on commission ranges from 5% to 15%.
Pick your province below for its calculator, current rates, negotiation tips, and the full costs of selling.

Uses each province’s typical structure and tax on commission.
Typical quoted structures, before negotiation: flat 5% in Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada; tiered 7% on the first $100K plus 2.5% (BC) or 3% (AB, SK) on the balance. Your listing agreement sets your actual rate.
How commission works across Canada
Everywhere in Canada, the seller pays one total commission that gets split between the listing brokerage and the buyer’s brokerage. No province sets a legal rate, so the number in your listing agreement is always negotiable.
The differences are structure and tax. Ontario, Manitoba, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada quote flat percentages while BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan use tiered rates, and the sales tax on the commission ranges from 5% GST out west to 15% HST in Atlantic Canada and nearly 15% in Quebec.
Each province page covers the local details: what makes up the commission, buyer vs seller sides, current rates, how to negotiate, and the selling costs beyond commission.
