Per-transaction schedule
Pro Agent: $1,000 brokerage fee per represented closing, plus $99/month. Premier Agent: $0 brokerage fee per closing, plus $495/month. A professional TC is required on every file (bring your own, or Merge's preferred TC at $495/file). New licensees who have never completed a transaction pay an additional $600 on each of the first three transactions. On sales above $4,000,000, Merge takes a 5% split only on the commission attributable to the value above $4M (example on the official fees page: $1,250 luxury supplement on a $5M sale at 2.5%). No commission split on standard (sub-$4M) transactions.

Notes
Structured monthly_fee_usd and per-transaction numeric total reflect the Pro Agent plan ($99/month + $1,000 per closing), which the official page says is best below 5 closings/year. Premier is $495/month ($5,940/year) with a $0 brokerage fee per closing and is described as cheaper at 5+ closings. TC cost is separate on both plans. No long-term commitment is published.
