Your split isn't a percentage. It's a salary you pay someone else.
Pick where you are now and put in last year's numbers. Everything below is your own production, priced at every major brokerage in the country. If the defaults aren't your plan, change them — the point is your real number, not ours.

The two things you're about to think
"My broker will just match it."
They might. Two things worth knowing. That better split was available the whole time — they didn't offer it until you had one foot out the door. And they can take it back; a negotiated split gets reviewed when your production dips. Ask them to put it in writing with no minimum production and see what happens.
"I'm close to my cap, I'll move in January."
That last stretch to the cap is the most expensive money you'll pay all year, and it resets in twelve months anyway. What you've already paid toward it can be credited against your AXEN Elite cap through the Reverse Sign-On Bonus — it's a signed addendum with real conditions, including a payback clause, so ask to read it before you count on it.
Everyone else stops there. This is the part they can't match.
Every brokerage above charges you. AXEN also pays you — five levels of revenue share on the agents you bring, at 100%, fully unlocked. Put in your own numbers.
Paid to you every year
$0
Assumes each agent brings two more, five levels deep, and counts a maximum of 12 paid closings per agent per year — the same engine the portal pays from. It is an illustration of the published rate, not a forecast: what you earn depends entirely on who you bring and whether they sell.
What the same downline is worth elsewhere
Every major brokerage, your numbers
AXEN first, then where you are now, then everyone else by what you keep.

A cheaper fee isn't a lower cost
Every brokerage above the line on fees alone is a discount model, and the reason the fee is lower is that nothing comes with it. Price a CRM, transaction coordination on each file, and contract management the way you'd actually have to buy them, and the gap closes and then reverses — before you count revenue share or equity, which discount brokerages don't pay at all.
Where AXEN genuinely isn't the answer: if you close one or two deals a year, a per-file fee is worse for you than a percentage — a split takes nothing when you sell nothing. We'd rather you knew that now than found out in March.
