Savings Calculator

The Savings Calculator compares commercial mortgage brokerage fees due at close: a legacy percentage you set against YieldStack's tiered 0.50–1.00% success fee, per deal and across a year of closings. When the legacy rate is lower, it says how much more YieldStack costs.

What it does

  • Side-by-side annual at-close fee estimates at your deal size and volume
  • Success-fee framing: pay when the loan closes rather than before it funds
  • Adjustable deal size and volume so the comparison matches your actual pipeline
  • Run the numbers first. Engage only if they work for you

Frequently Asked Questions

What fees does it compare?

Fees paid at closing: a legacy broker percentage you set (0.5% to 3.0%, default 1.5%, since traditional brokers typically charge 1–2%), two illustrative marketplace fees at 1.00%, and YieldStack's tiered fee of 1.00% on the first $1M, 0.75% on $1M–$2M, and 0.50% above $2M. Set deal size and how many you close per year. It does not model upfront or retainer fees.

Why does fee timing matter, not just the fee amount?

Because a fee paid before funding is a sunk cost even if the loan never closes, while a success fee is only owed when the financing actually happens. At the same headline percentage, pay-on-close pricing carries less risk for the borrower.
