Calculate estate agent fees and total selling costs
Enter your expected sale price and estate agent percentage first. The calculator works out the estimated agent fee automatically, then adds any other costs you enter.
Estate agent fees calculator: how the percentage works
The calculator multiplies your expected sale price by the estate agent percentage you enter. For example, a £300,000 sale at 1.5% produces an estimated estate agent fee of £4,500. This is only a planning calculation: your actual contract, minimum fee and VAT treatment may change the amount due.
Use the percentage shown in your own agency agreement where possible. If you are still comparing agents, our UK house-selling fees guide explains the main cost categories, and our 2026 regional estate-agent fee analysis provides market context rather than a property-specific quote.
What should I include in the selling-cost estimate?
Agent commission is only one part of the total. Depending on your sale, you may also need to budget for conveyancing, an EPC, removals, repairs or presentation work, mortgage exit charges, and the cost of holding the property while the transaction progresses.
After calculating the costs, use the Net Proceeds Calculator to estimate what may remain after selling costs and any mortgage balance are deducted.
Estate agent fees calculator FAQ
How do I calculate an estate agent fee?
Multiply the expected sale price by the total percentage charged by the agent. This calculator performs that calculation automatically and shows the fee in pounds.
Should I enter the estate agent percentage including VAT?
Use the total rate you expect to pay. If an agent quotes a rate before VAT, check the agreement and convert it to the full payable rate before relying on the estimate.
Does the calculator tell me which selling route is best?
No. It estimates costs only. Different routes can involve different prices, timescales, fees and risks, so compare those factors separately before deciding how to sell.
Now estimate what you could keep after the sale
