Annual revenue share (capped)
$2,800/agent annual cap enforced โ€ข assumes downline agents do not cap company side
$14,850
๐Ÿš€ Fast Start Bonus
$500 per personally sponsored agent who closes a deal AND caps within their first 6 months.
+$0

Commonly cited max: 9 agents ร— $500 = $4,500. Best targets are productive $3Mโ€“$15M producers who can realistically cap quickly โ€” not brand-new licensees.

Bonus is separate from monthly revenue share. If a sponsored agent never caps within 6 months you still earn normal rev share, just no Fast Start. eXp tweaks incentive programs occasionally โ€” verify current rules in the eXp back office before quoting exact numbers publicly.

Note: rev share is paid from the company dollar (20% of GCI pre-cap), not from agent GCI. Once a downline agent caps for their anniversary year, rev share from that agent stops until their next year โ€” this calculator assumes none of your downline has capped, so treat it as a working estimate, not a guarantee.

Earned Stock Awards (income add-on)+$600

These are stock awards eXp gives you for hitting milestones โ€” actual earned income on top of your cash. This is different from the AGIP stock purchase election (where you redirect your own commission to buy EXPI at a 10% discount) โ€” that is not earned income and lives in the broker comparison above. Awarded as restricted stock vesting over 3 years (events vest immediately). eXp cannot issue shares to non-natural persons (e.g. a legal entity).

Stock awards are issued at grant value and vest over 3 years (event awards vest immediately). Actual share value at vesting depends on EXPI market price. Awards require an active U.S. independent contractor agreement and may not be available in all states or for non-natural-person entities.
