How to calculate travel agent commission

Multiply the booking amount by the supplier commission rate. A $4,000 booking at 10% produces $400 of supplier commission. That 10% is only a starting example. Hotels, cruises, tours, and air do not share one rate, and some bookings pay a flat fee instead of a percent. Type the rate on the booking you are checking.

The host split is the share of that supplier commission you keep. At 70%, you keep $280 and the host agency keeps $120. If you have no host, enter 100% and the host line is zero. If the host keeps a flat fee instead of a percent, this travel agent commission calculator is the percent case. Subtract a flat fee from the supplier commission yourself.

The booking amount should be the amount the commission is calculated on. Some suppliers pay on the fare before tax, and some exclude port charges or resort fees. Using the client's full credit-card total will overstate the commission when those pieces are excluded. Read the commission line on the booking, not the brochure price alone.

Overrides, consortium bonuses, and credit-card fees are extra. They are not in the three boxes. Add a bonus after you have the base commission, and do not treat it as part of the supplier rate unless the statement combines them. For a team that shares one booking, take the amount you keep and divide it on the commission split calculator. A plain percent with no host split also fits the [commission calculator](/).

Worked example

The form opens on a $4,000 booking, a 10% supplier rate, and a 70% share kept by the agent. Supplier commission is $400. You keep $280. The host agency keeps $120. Change the keep share to 100% and you keep the full $400.

A $10,000 cruise at 12% with an 80% keep share is $1,200 of supplier commission and $960 to you. The host keeps $240. Those percents are illustrations. Replace them with the supplier and host agreement for the booking in front of you.

Supplier commission and the host agency split

Supplier commission is what the hotel, cruise line, tour operator, or other supplier pays on a booking. The rate is in that supplier's program. A host agency split is the agreement between you and the host about how that commission is divided. One agreement can be 70/30, another 90/10, and another a monthly fee plus a higher split. The keep box is your side of that agreement.

Air tickets are a poor fit for a single percent when the supplier pays little or nothing and the agency charges a service fee instead. If you were paid a planning fee, enter that fee as the booking amount and use a 100% rate only if the whole fee is yours. If the fee is not a commission, do not force it through a supplier rate that does not exist.

Groups and tours sometimes pay a different rate above a passenger count. Calculate the base group at one rate and the extra passengers at the other, then add the two supplier commissions before the host split. This page is one rate for one booking amount. The sales commission calculator is closer when a quota or an accelerator sits on top of a year of bookings.

FAQ

How does a travel agent commission calculator use a host split?

It first finds the supplier commission, which is the booking amount times the supplier rate. It then multiplies that commission by the share you keep. On a $4,000 booking at 10%, supplier commission is $400. At a 70% keep share you receive $280 and the host receives $120. Enter 100% if there is no host. The split is whatever your host agreement says.

What amount should I enter as the booking?

Enter the amount the supplier uses to calculate commission. That is often the fare or package price, and it may exclude taxes or fees the client still pays. Using the full amount charged to the client can overstate the commission. If the confirmation shows a commissionable total, use that figure. The page does not look up a supplier's rule for you.

What if the supplier pays a flat fee?

Enter the flat fee as the booking amount, set the supplier rate to 100%, and then enter the share you keep. A $150 fee you fully keep is $150. A $150 fee at a 70% host split is $105 to you. Do not also type 100% as the keep share unless the whole fee is yours. This is a workaround for a fee that is not a percent of the trip.

Does this include service fees I charge the client?

Only if you type them into the booking amount. A planning fee you charge the traveler is not supplier commission. Add it after the result, or enter it as its own calculation with the rate and split that apply to that fee. Mixing the client fee into a supplier percent will not match the supplier statement. Keep the two payments separate.

Can several agents share one booking?

Find the amount you keep, then divide that amount on the commission split calculator. This page stops at you and the host. It does not know a second agent, a group leader, or an outside referral. If the host split already happened, split only the dollars you received. Do not split the supplier commission again or the host share will be divided twice.

Is the result before tax?

Yes. The amount you keep is gross commission before income tax. How it is reported depends on whether you are paid as an employee or as an independent contractor. This travel agent commission calculator does not withhold taxes and does not produce a 1099. Use the result to check the booking math, then handle tax with your own records.
