# Revenue Share FAQ
## Learn who qualifies as a Revenue Partner, how revenue share is calculated and paid, and what happens when employment or partnerships end.
The **PLACE Revenue Share Program** pays eligible agents, operators, and PLACE employees **1% of a referred agent's net Gross Commission Income (GCI)** annually, for as long as both individuals remain affiliated with PLACE. Read on for eligibility requirements, calculation details, and payment rules.
## Eligibility and participation
### Who is eligible to participate in Revenue Share?
The **PLACE Revenue Share Program** rewards eligible agents, operators, and employees who refer new agents to PLACE by paying them **1% of the referred agent's Gross Commission Income (GCI), net of applicable referral fees,** annually for as long as both parties remain affiliated with PLACE.
The following individuals may be eligible to participate in the PLACE Revenue Share Program:
- Agents who adhere to their team’s standard commission split and maintain the minimum transaction threshold required by their team agreement.
- Operators who refer agents to another team powered by PLACE.
- Employees of PLACE and its wholly owned subsidiaries who are paid through PLACE payroll.
**Important:** Agents and Operators must have a fully executed service agreement with PLACE to participate.
**Operator eligibility:** Operators are not eligible to earn Revenue Share on agents they recruit to their own team. However, Operators may be eligible for additional benefits when referring new PLACE partners through the **Growth Share Program**, a separate incentive program designed to reward Operators who expand the PLACE network by bringing on new PLACE-powered teams. For details, visit the [Growth Share Program page in Our PLACE](https://our.place.com).
## How Revenue Share works
### How does PLACE Revenue Share work?
When an eligible referral joins PLACE, the designated **Revenue Partner** earns **1% of the referred agent’s net GCI** for as long as both individuals remain affiliated with PLACE. Revenue Share is calculated annually based on the recruited agent's net GCI after applicable referral fees, and is paid after fiscal year results are finalized.
### How much can I earn through Revenue Share?
For example, an agent selling 24 homes at an average sales price of $350,000 (illustrative figures) could generate more than $2,500 annually for their Revenue Partner.
Actual Revenue Share amounts depend on the recruited agent’s net GCI.
### How is Revenue Share calculated?
Example:
| Calculation | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Total GCI | $15,000 ($500,000 × assumed 3% rate) |
| Less referral fee | $3,750 |
| Net GCI | $11,250 |
| Revenue Share | $112.50 (1% of net GCI) |
Revenue Share calculations:
- Include all closings assigned to the recruited agent, including leases.
- Are calculated using net GCI after applicable referral fees.
- Are based on transactions assigned to the recruited agent as reported in the recruited agent’s team financial statements.
### When is Revenue Share paid?
Revenue Share is paid annually after the fiscal year results are finalized.
### What happens if the recruited agent leaves PLACE?
If the recruited agent leaves PLACE, they will no longer generate PLACE GCI. Therefore, no additional Revenue Share will be earned from that agent while they are no longer affiliated with PLACE.
### What happens to my Revenue Share if I leave PLACE?
If you leave PLACE, you will no longer be eligible to receive future Revenue Share payments.
Any unpaid Revenue Share earned prior to leaving PLACE will be forfeited.
### What happens if a recruited agent leaves PLACE and later returns?
If the recruited agent returns to PLACE within 6 months, and their original Revenue Partner is still affiliated with PLACE, the agent cannot designate a new Revenue Partner.
If the recruited agent has been away from PLACE for more than 6 months, or their original Revenue Partner is no longer affiliated with PLACE, they may designate a new Revenue Partner.
### How do I get assigned as a Revenue Partner?
Every new agent is asked to designate a Revenue Partner as part of their onboarding paperwork.
If you referred the agent, make sure they know to designate you as their Revenue Partner when completing their onboarding paperwork.
If the agent does not select a Revenue Partner on their initial onboarding paperwork, the Operator is designated as the Revenue Partner.
### Are Revenue Share payments taxable?
Yes. Revenue Share payments are taxable.
- Agents who receive Revenue Share payments will receive a **1099** reflecting the amount paid.
- W-2 employees receive Revenue Share payments through payroll.
### What happens to forfeited or unclaimed Revenue Share payments?
If a Revenue Partner forfeits a Revenue Share payment—for example, by leaving PLACE before the annual payment is made—the forfeited payment is returned to the team.
