Best for: Seller

Estimate what you will actually net after mortgage payoff, commission, closing costs, repairs, and credits.

What does this calculator do?

This calculator estimates your net proceeds from a property sale by subtracting mortgage payoff, realtor commission, closing costs, repairs, buyer credits, taxes owed, other liens, and moving costs from the sale price.

Who should use it?

What numbers do I need?

Estimated sale price, mortgage payoff, realtor commission percentage, seller closing cost percentage, repairs, buyer credits, taxes owed, other liens, and moving costs.

What should I watch out for?

Commission and closing cost percentages can vary. Repairs discovered during inspection can change your net. Property taxes may be prorated. Always verify with your realtor and title company.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do sellers calculate net proceeds?
Net proceeds = sale price minus mortgage payoff, realtor commission, closing costs, repairs, buyer credits, taxes owed, other liens, and moving costs. This is the amount you actually receive at closing.
What is the difference between gross sale price and net proceeds?
Gross sale price is the total sale amount. Net proceeds is what remains after subtracting all selling costs including mortgage payoff, commission, closing costs, repairs, and credits.
What are typical seller closing costs?
Seller closing costs typically include realtor commission (5-6%), transfer taxes, title insurance, escrow fees, and any agreed-upon buyer credits, usually totaling 6-10% of the sale price.
What is estimated equity?
Estimated equity is the difference between your sale price and mortgage payoff — the gross amount before selling costs. Net proceeds is equity minus all selling costs.
