Selling a home is one of the biggest financial events most New Zealanders go through, and the agent's commission is usually the largest single cost, so it pays to know roughly what you are up for before you sign anything. This calculator estimates the selling commission you might pay with Arizto (Nationwide (low-fee)) based on from the agency's website: about 2% of the sale price with a minimum of $11,000 plus a $650 admin fee, plus GST. Enter your expected sale price and it shows the commission, the 15% GST added on top, and the total you would actually pay, updating as you type. Two things are worth keeping front of mind. First, real estate commission in New Zealand is completely negotiable. The figures here are a starting point, not a fixed quote, and rates differ by office, region and property, so you can and should discuss the rate, the structure and the marketing budget with the agency before committing. Second, commission is only part of the cost of selling: marketing and advertising are charged separately on top, often running from around $1,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the campaign, and there may be other costs such as legal fees. Seeing an indicative commission figure up front helps you budget realistically, compare agencies on a like-for-like basis, and negotiate from an informed position rather than accepting the first number you are given. Use it alongside our other selling tools to build a full picture of your net proceeds.

How Arizto commission is worked out

On this indicative structure, the commission is about 2% of the sale price with a minimum of $11,000 plus a $650 admin fee, plus GST. The 15% GST is then added to that commission to give the total you pay the agency. Marketing and advertising are separate and are not included here. SOURCE WITHDRAWN, found by tools/verify-source-freshness.mjs on 18 August 2026: the terms page cited below no longer states any percentage. The figures held are what it stated in July. Original note follows. Arizto is a low-fee agency. Its terms and conditions publish a $650 administration fee and a minimum commission of $11,000 plus GST, along with an $800 auction fee and a $200 relisting fee if the property is relisted within 90 days. The 2% headline rate is not on the corporate site but is stated on Arizto's own social channels and by its agents, and it reconciles with the published minimum, since 2% of $550,000 is exactly $11,000. Individual Arizto agents also advertise flat fees of $10,000 or $12,500 plus GST, so confirm your agent's pricing.
