Commissions

The figures on the Fees tab represent commission amounts excluding VAT. These values flow to the report from a sales listing’s sales settlement and a rental listing’s rental settlement. Therefore, if you notice an error in the fees on the report, it can be corrected in that listing’s sales or rental settlement.

NOTE: The Fees tab does not display other billable client charges such as marketing or document fees. These can be found on the Invoices tab.

Fees view and common actions

1. If your company is part of a group, you can use the selector to choose which company’s or companies’ fees you want to view. You can select multiple companies by holding down the Ctrl key (on Mac: Command) while clicking.
2. Select the year and month for which you want to view fees.
3. Using the calendar icon (just above the number), you can define a specific date range for which you want to view commission fees, for example 1 Jan 2024–31 Mar 2024.
4. The arrow buttons allow you to drill deeper into the hierarchy by clicking on the charts below (item 6). More information about the arrow buttons can be found in this article.
5. In the upper corner of the report, you can open the report in a larger Review mode, and from the three dots you can access More actions such as downloading the report as an Excel file (Export data).
6. By clicking a chart (box), you can filter the report to show the data for that selection. In the example image, clicking "Suomi LKV - Pohjoinen" would filter the report to show only that company’s fees.
7. By clicking the plus sign (+) on the left, you can open more detailed information, such as which listings the fee recipient (agent or company) has earned their fees from and how much. You can also click the fee recipient’s name to highlight their fees in the chart on the right.
   Tip: Right-click the plus sign to access additional actions. For example, selecting Expand and All opens detailed information for all fee recipients at once.

Glossary and the origin of figures

It is helpful for report users to understand where the figures come from and how they flow into the reports. Often, data is updated only after certain conditions are met.

• Fee recipient: The fee recipient is always either an agent or the brokerage company. In the sales or rental settlement, you define who receives the commission and how it is split.
• Sale date: This column displays the actual sale date defined in the listing’s sales settlement.
• Total fees: This column shows both sales commissions and rental commissions (see below). This gives the total amount of realized commissions. Note that forecasted sales commissions are not shown in this column.
• Sales commissions: This column shows the realized commission for sales listings. The amount is updated after the actual sale date is entered in the listing’s sales settlement.
• Rental commissions: This column shows the realized commission for rental listings. The amount is updated from the listing’s rental settlement.
• Sales forecast: This column shows the expected and realized commission for a sales listing. The amount is updated when the sales settlement is completed. For example, mid-month, the sales forecast per fee recipient may show a higher amount than the realized sales commissions, because the forecast includes expected fees for the remainder of the month.
• Forecast sale date: The estimated sale date entered in the sales listing’s sales settlement. Together with the sales forecast, this gives an estimate of when and how much commission can be expected from the listing.
• Fee sharing: This column shows the fee recipient’s percentage share of the listing’s commission. The sales or rental settlement defines if/how the commission is split between agents, the brokerage company, or external partners.
