How is commission calculated?

Commission is a percentage of the sale value. GST is added on top if the agent is registered, and the payer deducts TDS before paying.

Commission = sale value × rate ÷ 100

Agent receives = commission + GST − TDS

Typical commission rates

Real estate brokers in India usually charge 1–2% of the property price (often one month's rent for rentals). Insurance and mutual fund distributors earn trail commissions set by the product.

TDS on commission

A business paying commission or brokerage deducts 2% TDS once the total paid to one person crosses ₹20,000 in a year (section 194H). Insurance commission has similar 2% TDS.
