Templates for Real-Estate Agents.
Commission, pipeline, and tax tools for real-estate agents and Realtors — built to show what each closing really pays you after the split and the cap, forecast the deals that are actually coming, and get you to tax time already sorted. Run the money side of the business from one connected file you own.
Know what each closing actually paid you
A five-figure commission lands and somehow far less reaches your account than the "3% of the sale price" you did the math on. The brokerage took its split, a franchise fee came off the top, and the fees came out at the table. Your CRM tracked the lead all the way to the closing and then went quiet on the one question that pays your mortgage: what did this deal pay you? The tools here answer it — real take-home after the split and cap, an honest pipeline forecast, and a Schedule-C and mileage record — in one owned file.
Never pinned down your real number? Start free with the commission-split calculator — enter one closing's price, rate, split, and fees, no signup — then read what a commission split is and what GCI is.
Wondering whether a spreadsheet or a monthly app is the right home for the numbers? Weigh a spreadsheet vs a real-estate CRM for the way you actually work.

A note on the tax framing. The commission math and the expense categories here are structured for a typical U.S. agent filing a Schedule C, but they aren't licensed tax advice. Brokerage splits, caps, and fees vary by shop and are yours to enter from your Independent Contractor Agreement; the IRS standard mileage rate changes every year; and your state and local rules are yours to confirm — a tax professional is worth it. These tools are not affiliated with or endorsed by any brokerage, franchise, association, the NAR, or the IRS.
