Annual costs
Compare your annual brokerage costs
Enter your self-generated closings and brokerage costs. Mayshore charges $495 per funded self-generated closing, with no cap. Representing both sides counts as two closings. Add outside expenses for each option. Your inputs stay in this browser.
Show the formula
gross commission = closings × average commission per closing
split cost = lesser of gross commission × brokerage share or the entered cap when a cap is entered.
annual cost = split cost + closing fees + monthly fees × 12 + annual fees + outside services
Mayshore cost = funded self-generated closings × $495 + entered outside costs
difference = current brokerage annual cost - Mayshore annual cost
Reading your results
Compare brokerage charges and outside expenses
Your current-brokerage total starts with the commission share and cap you enter. It adds closing fees and recurring charges. Both columns include your entered outside expenses, so each total covers the same parts of your budget.
Use the results to plan self-generated sales. For a transaction that uses different terms, see closing examples.
Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a split plan or a flat-fee plan in the calculator?
Use the same production and average commission for every option. For a percentage-split plan, enter the brokerage's share and any cap on that share. Enter a flat transaction charge in the closing-fee field. Add required monthly and annual charges separately so the comparison includes the full year.
What do I keep after brokerage charges and other business deductions?
Subtract brokerage charges and outside business expenses from your gross commission. Then account for any referral or team deductions from your own agreements. The calculator has no separate referral or team field, so include those amounts in your outside-cost total. Personal income taxes remain outside the estimate.
What are Mayshore's closing fees at different production levels?
For Mayshore's self-generated closing fees, two funded sides cost $990, five cost $2,475, ten cost $4,950, twelve cost $5,940, twenty cost $9,900, and forty cost $19,800. The $495 fee applies to every funded self-generated side, with no cap. Add outside expenses for a business-cost estimate.
