What is a transaction fee?

“A transaction fee is an amount that a brokerage will charge to each transaction regardless of who pays it,” Higgins explains. “It is up to the agent themselves to charge that on to their customers.” If they don’t, they’ll have to pay it themselves, and it will likely be taken out of the commission they’ve negotiated with a client.

How is the transaction fee calculated?

The specific amount of the transaction fee is determined by the chosen service provider. The transaction fee imposed by your selected payment processor can be calculated either as a percentage of the transaction amount or as a fixed additional charge.

What is an example of a transaction cost?

For example, the fees paid to a brokerage for executing a trade are a transaction cost. There are also transaction costs in buying and selling real estate, which include the agent's commission and closing costs, such as title search fees, appraisal fees, and government fees.
