Brokerage Calculator.

Brokerage is the commission paid to a real estate broker or agent for facilitating a property transaction — sale, purchase, or rental. In India, it is typically paid by both the buyer and seller in a sale transaction, or by the tenant and landlord in a rental. The exact arrangement can vary and is negotiable.

The average brokerage fee for real estate agents in India is 1–2% of the property value for sale transactions, usually charged to both the buyer and the seller. In metro cities like Bangalore and Mumbai, 2% per side is common for resale deals, while primary (builder) sales often involve no brokerage for the buyer.

For sale transactions, the property brokerage rate is generally 1–2% of the property value, charged to each party (buyer and seller). For rentals, the standard is one month's rent as brokerage, split between the landlord and tenant. Rates vary by city and agent, and are always negotiable.

Brokerage on the sale of a flat is typically 1–2% of the final sale price, paid by the seller, with the buyer often paying a similar amount to their broker. On a ₹80 lakh flat, that works out to ₹80,000–₹1.6 lakh per side, plus 18% GST on the brokerage amount.

Brokerage charges for land or plot transactions are usually higher than for flats — commonly 2–3% of the deal value — because plot deals are less standardized and involve more title and boundary verification work by the broker. As with all brokerage, the rate is negotiable and attracts 18% GST.

When buying a house through a broker, the buyer typically pays 1–2% of the purchase price as the broker fee, plus 18% GST. If you buy directly from a developer in a new project, there is usually no broker fee for the buyer, since the developer pays the channel partner's commission.

Yes. Brokerage services attract 18% GST. If you are paying 1% brokerage on a ₹1 Cr property, the effective cost is 1% + 18% of 1% = 1.18% of the property value. This calculator includes GST in its breakdown so you see the total outflow.

Yes, brokerage is always negotiable. In high-value transactions, buyers and sellers often negotiate rates down. Some developers offer zero-brokerage direct sales. New-age platforms like AnviRealty list projects with transparent pricing and no brokerage charged to buyers.

For buyers, brokerage paid on purchase of a residential property can be added to the cost of acquisition, which reduces capital gains tax liability when you eventually sell the property. It is not deductible in the year of purchase for income tax purposes under Section 80C.

At 2% the brokerage is ₹1,00,000, and 18% GST on that adds ₹18,000, so the total is ₹1,18,000, which is 2.36% of the price. Negotiating a quarter off the brokerage brings the total to ₹88,500. That is your side only: the other party usually pays their own broker.
