You would be the only one that would have or know all of the necessary information that will be needed to determine what percentage you would need to use for this purpose.

If your marginal tax rate would be 35% after your income tax return is completely correctly without the commission amount and you have to pay your share of the social security and medicare taxes of 7.65% on the commission income you would need to set aside 42.65% to cover the social security and medicare tax plus the income tax that would be due on the commission.

If your marginal income will only be 10% for the income taxes plus the 7.65% FICA tax the total would be 17.65%.

When are taxes on real estate comissions paid?

The income taxes on your commissions are paid by April 15th, just like any other taxes. As you work through your brokerage, they will keep records of the total commissions that you have earned. At the end of the calender year, you will receive a 1099 form instead of a w-2. When you complete your tax forms for the IRS and the local state entity, that is the form where your tax liabilites come from. My advice to you is to keep every business related reciept you get, keep track of your business related car mileage, automatically put 40% of your commissions into a separate bank account and NEVER TOUCH IT! If you do those things, at the end of the year you should be good!
