Net proceeds calculator.

Estimate what you might walk away with after the costs of selling.

Net proceeds

The number that matters to a seller is not the sale price, it is the net proceeds: what remains after the loan payoff and the costs of selling. This calculator gives you a fast estimate so you can talk about your home with real numbers.

The net proceeds tool

What would you walk away with?

Move the sliders for the price, your mortgage balance, and the costs of selling. The dark panel updates in real time with the estimated proceeds and a verdict you can act on.

Your situation

$475,000

What the home is likely to sell for, not the asking price. A market analysis sharpens this.

$280,000

What you still owe, including any second lien or HELOC.

3%

The listing side of the commission, a negotiated number, not a fixed one.

$9,500

Title, escrow, transfer tax, recording, prorations, and any concessions.

Strategist insight

Your selling costs sit at a lean share of the sale price, which is the sign of a clean, conventional sale. The mortgage payoff is not a cost of selling, it is settling existing debt, so the number worth your attention is the net: about 36 out of every 100 dollars of sale price stays with you after costs and payoff.

Planning estimate

This is a planning estimate for discussion, not a closing statement. A fuller disclaimer, including the professional guidance to seek, sits below the calculator.

Your next step

Let's look at your options together.

The proceeds above are a planning estimate, not a closing statement. On a free strategy call, we walk through your real numbers, talk through what the sale would actually net and which selling option protects it best, and shape a plan that fits your situation. What matters most to you is where we start.

Free and private. No pressure, no obligation.

A note before you decide

This calculator is general educational guidance, not tax, legal, or financial advice. The figures are estimates for planning only: they simplify commission, closing cost, and payoff math, and your actual settlement depends on the offer, the contract, and escrow and title figures, so treat them as a starting point, not a final answer. A qualified real estate professional, tax advisor, and the escrow and title teams should be consulted for your individual circumstances before you act on what this tool suggests.

What shapes it

The costs that reduce your proceeds

Listing commission

Often the largest line item, usually split between the listing and buyer agents.

Title & escrow fees

Third-party settlement and title services with set schedules per transaction.

Transfer taxes and recording

State and local government charges on the transfer of the title.

Seller concessions

Credits toward a buyer’s closing costs or repairs when they shape the deal.

Loan payoff

The remaining balance on your mortgage, plus prepayment interest and any fees.

Prepayments and prorations

Property taxes, insurance, and dues prorated to the day of closing.

The value side

Proceeds start with a realistic value.

A credible estimate of your home's value makes every downstream number meaningful.

Home value & equity

Next step

The right answer starts with a conversation.

Bring these numbers. I will help you see the options you cannot see from the inside: what the sale would really net, which selling route protects your proceeds, and how the timing fits the rest of your plan. No pressure, just a clear strategy.

If you would like to talk through your situation, the first conversation is free and private. We will start from your numbers, not a script.

This calculator is a planning estimate, not a lender or legal determination.
