Free tool
Referral fee split calculator
Nobody wants to be the one who asks "what's fair?"
Pick the job type, the job value, and who found the customer. Get a typical split range for that kind of work and a paragraph you can drop straight into your agreement.
Typical range for this job type
These are common starting ranges shops use, not a rule. The right number is whatever both businesses agree to and put in writing. Turn this paragraph into a signed agreement with the free referral agreement template.
Why the split matters
Give away the number. Keep the relationship.
A vague rate is where trust breaks.
"We'll figure it out" works until the first big job closes. A range set before the work starts means nobody is negotiating after the money is already on the table.
Different trades, different norms.
What's fair on a plumbing referral isn't what's fair on a full restoration loss. The calculator adjusts the range to the kind of work, not one number for everything.
Put the number in writing, once.
Take the paragraph this tool gives you, drop it into the free referral agreement template, and sign it. The rate stops being a memory and starts being a record.
Then let RefSource track it.
Once the rate is agreed, attach it to every referral you send that partner. Commission computed automatically, visible to both shops, marked paid.
Get paid for the jobs you already turn down.
