The realtor commission, a.k.a the real estate commission, is a fee you pay to a real estate agent for their services in a successful transaction. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the selling price. Realtor commission rates are most often between 4% and 6%.

To determine the realtor commission, you need to:

1. Determine the commission rate. It's usually around 5%.
2. Determine the selling price.
3. Calculate the realtor fee using the formula
   commission = selling price × rate / 100.
