Each agent contributes a share of commission to the brokerage until they hit their annual cap — then they keep nearly all of it. Pure rolls up every payout into a live cap meter per agent, so the broker and the agent both know exactly how much is left to cap and when the split flips.
While an agent is pre-cap, each closed deal sends the brokerage split (and the cap contribution) to the house. Once cumulative contributions reach the annual cap, Pure flips that agent to post-cap automatically — the brokerage split drops to the post-cap rate and the agent keeps the rest. The meter resets on the agent's anniversary. Because it reads the same payouts that funded at the table, the cap is never out of date.
