How the numbers are worked out

The commission is the price, or the annual rent, times the rate in your signed agreement with the client. The calculator starts at 2% only as an example; type the rate you actually agreed. A VAT-registered brokerage adds VAT at the UAE standard rate of 5% (Federal Tax Authority, checked October 2026) to the client's invoice.

If another agency brought the other side of the deal, its share comes off first. The agent's split then applies to your agency's part. All figures are indicative arithmetic, not tax or legal advice.

  • Commission = price × agreed rate
  • Invoice to the client = commission + 5% VAT (if VAT-registered)
  • Your agency's commission = commission − co-broker's share
  • Agent's payout = your agency's commission × agent's split

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate real estate commission in Dubai?
Multiply the sale price, or the annual rent for a rental, by the commission rate in the signed agreement. If the brokerage is VAT-registered, add 5% VAT to that commission on the client's invoice. Then take out any co-broking agency's share, and apply the agent's split to what is left for your agency.
Is VAT added to a real estate commission in the UAE?
A VAT-registered brokerage adds VAT at the UAE standard rate of 5%, published by the Federal Tax Authority, to its commission invoice. The VAT is collected for the Federal Tax Authority and is not income for the agency or the agent. Your own position is a question for your tax adviser.
How is commission split between the agency and the agent?
The split is set in each agent's contract with the brokerage, so there is no single rule. The calculator first removes the co-broking agency's share, if there is one, and then applies the agent's percentage to your agency's commission. Change both percentages to match your own contracts.
Does the calculator work for rentals?
Yes. Enter the annual rent instead of the sale price, and the commission rate agreed with the landlord or tenant. Every other step is the same: VAT if your brokerage is registered, the co-broker's share, then the agent's split.
Can WIYO record the commission on each deal?
Yes. Each deal in WIYO holds its commission rate and commission value next to the client, the property and the stage. For off-plan, Commission Radar ranks projects by the commission an agent would earn on them. The payout split itself stays with your own finance process.
