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 sample split range for that kind of work and a paragraph you can drop straight into your agreement.
Estimate
Illustrative range for this job type
Estimates only. Your actual fee is set per referral and agreed by both shops before any work starts. The referral record is the agreement, not this calculator.

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. Fee agreed up front, paid shop to shop.
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.
Track the agreed fee with the job.
RefSource is referral software for trades and restoration companies. Record the fee you agree on with your partner, send the job details, and follow status updates and payment confirmation. Both shops see the agreed terms and where the job stands.
