Calculating End-of-Cap Fees - Fathom Max - Example Calculation
Commission
$10,000 commission
Less Transaction Fee to Fathom of $465
Cap Progress
$8,710 paid to date toward Cap with $290 remaining in Cap
Calculating End-of-Cap
Is the remaining Cap amount of $290 lower or higher than the $465 transaction fee?
- If lower than $465 but higher than the post-Cap transaction fee of $165, then the remaining Cap amount of $290 will be charged on CDA (plus E&O).
- If lower than the post-Cap transaction fee of $165, then $165 will be charged on the CDA (plus E&O).
- If higher than $465, then the transaction fee of $465 will be charged on CDA (plus E&O).
Results
CDA will show $290 Transaction Fee to Fathom plus $35 E&O

Yes, transactions completed under a previous plan will count toward the new Plan Cap.
For example:
- If an Agent on the Fathom Share Plan has accumulated $9,300 toward their Cap and switches to the Fathom Max Plan with a $9,000 Plan Cap, they will immediately be capped. Their subsequent transactions will only incur the reduced Post-Cap Transaction Fee of $165.
- If a Fathom Max Plan Agent with a $9,000 Plan Cap switches to the Fathom Share Plan with a $12,000 Plan Cap, they must generate an additional $3,000 in commission splits to reach the new Plan Cap.
Fathom Revenue Share allows agents to earn additional compensation from their direct recruits. A Fathom Agent, or “SPONSORING AGENT,” earns part of their commission income from Agents they recruit, or “SPONSORED AGENTS.”
A Sponsoring Agent can earn from their direct Sponsored recruits, known as “LEVEL 1,” and from the Sponsored Agents, the Level 1 recruits, known as “LEVELS 2 through 5.” This group of Sponsored Agents is called a "NETWORK."
The Fathom Max Plan Cap is $9,000, and the Fathom Share Plan Cap is $12,000. Revenue Share is available only on PRE-CAP transaction revenue and depends on both the Sponsoring and Sponsored Agents' plans.
For Sponsoring Agents on the Fathom Max or Share Plan, the percentages of Revenue Share received from their Network are as follows, regardless of the Plan the Sponsored Agent joins:

- Only Pre-Cap revenue is included in revenue share.
- Sponsored Agent can be a member in either Plan to unlock all Levels
- Unlocked: 4 Agents in Level 1 to keep a Level unlocked
Levels 1 and 2: Automatically unlocked.
Level 3: Recruit a total of 4 agents into Level 1. These 4 agents do not all still need to be with Fathom at the time Level 3 is unlocked. Must maintain 4 active agents in Level 1 to keep Level 3 unlocked.
Level 4: Recruit a total of 8 agents into Level 1. These 8 agents do not all still need to be with Fathom at the time Level 4 is unlocked. Must maintain 4 active agents in Level 1 to keep Level 4 unlocked.
Level 5: Recruit a total of 12 agents into Level 1. These 12 agents do not all still need to be with Fathom at the time Level 5 is unlocked. Must maintain 4 active agents in Level 1 to keep Level 5 unlocked.
Recruited agents do not need to be "Producing Agents" at the time of recruitment to count toward unlocking levels.
Agents do not need to stay with Fathom for the sponsor to keep levels unlocked. For example, if an agent recruited eight agents to unlock Level 4 but some leave, the sponsor still keeps Level 4 unlocked as long as at least four active agents remain in Level 1.
Producing Agent status is only required for an agent to receive revenue share or for their commissions to qualify for others to receive revenue share from their transactions. Producing Agent status is not relevant for unlocking levels.
Example: Agents eligible to receive revenue share for transactions that closed with payments received and filed during November will receive their revenue share payment on or before the last day of December.
Changes in your Sponsored Agent's plan or status can affect your Revenue Share:
- From Fathom Max to Fathom Share - Your revenue share will increase as the Sponsored Agent's commissions generate more shares.
- From Fathom Share Plan to Fathom Max Plan - Your revenue share will decrease as the Sponsored Agent's commissions generate less share.
- Becoming a Producing Agent - If a Non-Producing Agent meets the necessary thresholds and becomes a Producing Agent, your Revenue Share from their activities will activate.
- Becoming a Non-Producing Agent - If a Producing Agent becomes a Non-Producing Agent, your Revenue Share from their activities will be suspended until they regain Producing Agent status.
Monitoring these changes is important as they directly impact your Revenue Share. Supporting your Network to be successful benefits both them and you.
When a Team Member closes a transaction, the Team split is calculated first. Then, Fathom’s fees or split is taken from both the Team Leader and Team Member based on their Cap statuses. Finally, the E&O Fee, Risk Management Fee, and any other applicable fees are deducted from their commissions based on the Team split.
For example:
Team Member Transaction - Share Plan
- Neither the Team Leader nor Team Member are Capped
- Transaction with $10,000 gross commission (GCI)
- 40/60 split between the Team Leader and Team Member
TEAM LEADER - 40% NOT CAPPED |
TEAM MEMBER - 60% NOT CAPPED |
$4,000 commission to Team Leader Less 12% to Fathom = $480 Net commission to Team Leader = $3,520 |
$6,000 commission to Team Member Less 12% to Fathom = $720 Less 100% of E&O Fee = $35 Net commission to Team Member = $5,245 |
Team Member Transaction - Share Plan
- Team Leader is capped
- Team Member is NOT capped
- Transaction with $10,000 gross commission (GCI)
- 40/60 split between the Team Leader and Team Member
TEAM LEADER - 40% CAPPED |
TEAM MEMBER - 60% NOT CAPPED |
$4,000 commission to Team Leader Less Capped Transaction Fee = $0 Net commission to Team Leader = $4,000 |
$6,000 commission to Team Member Less 12% to Fathom = $720 Less 100% of E&O Fee = $35 Net commission to Team Member = $5,245 |
Team Member Transaction
- Team Leader is NOT capped
- Team Member is capped
- Transaction with $10,000 gross commission (GCI)
- 40/60 split between the Team Leader and Team Member
TEAM LEADER - 40% NOT CAPPED |
TEAM MEMBER - 60% CAPPED |
$4,000 commission to Team Leader Less 12% to Fathom = $480 Net commission to TL = $3,520 |
$6,000 commission to Team Member Less Capped Transaction Fee = $165 Less 100% of E&O Fee = $35 Net commission to TM = $5,800 |
