# Franchise Fee (FFE)
## How to configure and understand the Franchise Fee feature in Dealius.
**Overview**
The Franchise Fee (FFE) is a configurable fee calculated at deal closing based on internal broker grosses. It defaults to **2%** and can be customized as needed. Changes to the franchise fee settings apply to open deals only — closed deals are not affected.
> **To disable the Franchise Fee:** Set the Franchise Fee % to **0**.
**Configuration**
Franchise Fee settings are managed under *Admin \> System Settings \> Franchise Fee*. The following information can be stored:

**How the Franchise Fee is Calculated**
The FFE is calculated at the time of deal closing and recalculated during the **Clear Open Balance** action based on Amount Received.
**Formula:** Franchise Fee = Franchise Fee % × Sum of Internal Broker Grosses
Outside broker grosses are excluded from the calculation.
**Important:** The FFE does not affect Total Gross, Broker Gross, or Broker Net. It is generated as a House expense and impacts only **House Net After Expenses**.
*Example:*
| | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Total Commission | $10,000 |
| Franchise Fee (5%) | $500 |
| Broker Gross | $10,000 |
| Broker Net (50%) | $5,000 |
| House Net (50%) | $5,000 |
| House Net After Expenses | $4,500 |
---
**Disabling FFE on a Specific Deal**
The FFE can be disabled on a per-deal basis under *Deal Profile \> Payments* using the **Generate Franchise Fee** toggle. When disabled, no FFE payable is generated for that deal.
If you do not see an FFE payable under the Payables list for a deal, check whether this toggle is enabled on the deal profile. To re-enable it on a closed deal, the deal must be reopened first.
