Creating a Commission Plan

The Compensation Plans screen and what a plan actually holds: a name, an optional monthly fee, how funds get paid out, and a split for each transaction type your brokerage uses.

Updated August 18, 2026

Where to Find It: Admin Tools in the left sidebar, or press / for Search, then Compensation Plans under Deals & Compensation. Direct address: /bc_client/dashboard/admin/compensation_plan_manager/.

Who can open it: the Search shortcut appears only for Primary Admins (the "Primary Admin" checkbox on Admin Roles, which carries every capability). Any administrator can reach the page by typing the address, so treat compensation as sensitive and grant Primary Admin sparingly.

Three Cards, Three Different Things

  • Plans: the compensation plans themselves. add a plan creates one, clicking a name opens it, and you can drag plans to reorder the list.
  • Plan Advancement Rules: automatic promotion from one plan to another when an agent hits a milestone. See Plan Advancement Rules.
  • Agent Bonus Rules: bonuses paid to whoever referred or recruited the transacting agent. Sales only. See Agent Bonus Rules.
Note: Advancement rules and bonus rules are not inside a plan. They are their own cards on this screen, and each one names the plans it applies to. Looking for a Bonus Rules section inside a plan is a common wrong turn.

What a Plan Holds

Step 1: Plan Name. There is a "How does this work?" link beside it if you want the in-app explanation.
Step 2: Monthly fee for agents on this plan, with a second box for the label that shows on statements. Leave it at 0 for no fee. Per-agent overrides and one-off charges are handled in Agent Billing, not here.
Step 3: How does compensation get paid out? Two choices: "Title company pays the agent directly", meaning the closing company sends each party their share, or "Brokerage collects all funds, then pays everyone". This applies to sales only. Leases always pay to the brokerage, because the landlord is invoiced and sends one check.
Step 4: A tab for every transaction type your brokerage uses. Each tab takes an Agent Split percentage, a Company Split percentage and a flat Transaction Fee in dollars. Apply to all transaction types copies what you have entered to every other tab.
Step 5: Click Save. The plan is then assignable to agents.

Splits That Change With Production

Each transaction type card carries a Use Tiered Split link in its top right. That swaps the single split for a set of rules, so an agent on the same plan can be paid differently once they pass a transaction count or a volume figure. Use Flat Split puts it back. See Tiered Splits.

Putting Agents on a Plan

Open an existing plan and use Manage Agents in the header. It opens "Manage Agents on this Plan", with a search box and two lists, on this plan and everyone else, so you can move people across in bulk. An agent's plan can also be set one at a time from their profile.

Note: Delete this plan sits at the bottom of the editor, and it refuses while anyone is still assigned: you get "Wait! There are still agents assigned to this plan." with the names. Move them first.
Warning: A plan has no caps, no side or price-range conditions, no franchise royalty, team leader or mentor targets, and no connection to recognition tiers. If you are looking for any of those, they are not part of a compensation plan in BrokerChamp.
