How the estimate works

Net to seller = sale price − commissions − loan payoffs − title and closing costs − taxes − credits and other costs

For example, a $450,000 sale with a $210,000 mortgage payoff, using the national estimates below, nets about $208,808: 46% of the price. Choose a state and the calculator applies its transfer tax and customs.

Commissions

The listing agent’s commission, and any pay the seller offers the buyer’s agent. Since August 2024 the two are agreed separately and both are negotiable, so enter what’s in the listing agreement. The calculator starts at 3% and 2.5% only as placeholders.

Loan payoffs

The balance on every loan secured by the home, plus interest up to the payoff date. The lender’s payoff statement has the exact figure.

Title insurance

The owner’s title policy protects the buyer against old claims on the home. Local custom decides who pays for it. Where a state sets the premium itself, the calculator uses the state’s rate; elsewhere it starts from an estimate you can replace with your title company’s quote.

Settlement, attorney and recording fees

The title or escrow company’s fee for running the closing, a closing attorney in states that use one, and the fees to record the deed and release the old mortgage.

Transfer taxes

Many states tax the sale itself. The rate, and who usually pays, depend on the state; the calculator applies both, and you can change either. Some counties and cities add a tax of their own. Add those under Other costs.

Property tax proration

Property taxes are split by the days each owner held the home. Where taxes are paid after the year ends, the seller pays the buyer for their days; where they’re paid ahead, the buyer pays the seller back. The calculator assumes a calendar tax year.

Credits, repairs and other costs

Money the seller gives the buyer toward closing costs or repairs, a home warranty, HOA dues and fees, a second loan, and anything else you add.

Transfer taxes and title, by state

Each state’s rate and the usual custom for who pays it. Some counties and cities add taxes of their own, and customs vary locally, so check with the title company for the property.

Questions about net sheets

What is a seller net sheet?

A seller net sheet estimates what a seller keeps from a sale after the costs come out: the commissions, the loan payoff, title and closing fees, taxes and any credits to the buyer. Agents use one to price a listing and to compare offers; sellers use one to see what they’ll walk away with.

How accurate is this calculator?

As accurate as the numbers you give it. The price, the payoff, the commissions and any credits usually come from documents you already have. Title, closing fees and property taxes start as estimates, tagged “est.”; replace them with your title company’s quote for a closer number. The final figures come from the settlement statement at closing.

What closing costs does a seller usually pay?

Most sellers pay the listing agent’s commission, pay off their loans, and pay their share of title, settlement and recording fees. Depending on the state and the deal, they may also pay the owner’s title policy, a transfer tax, a closing attorney, prorated property taxes, HOA fees, and credits or repairs agreed with the buyer.

Does the seller pay the buyer’s agent?

Not automatically. Since August 2024, buyers sign an agreement with their own agent that sets that agent’s pay. A seller can still offer to pay some or all of it, or give the buyer a credit toward it, as part of the deal. Turn the buyer’s agent line off if the seller isn’t offering.

Who pays for title insurance?

It depends on local custom. In many states the seller pays for the owner’s policy and the buyer pays for the lender’s policy; in others the buyer pays for both, and some states differ county by county. The calculator follows each state’s usual custom, and you can switch it.

How are property taxes split at closing?

By the days each owner held the home that year. Where taxes are paid after the year ends, the seller pays the buyer for the seller’s days; where they’re paid in advance, the buyer pays the seller back for the rest of the year. The calculator assumes a calendar tax year.

Will I pay capital gains tax when I sell my home?

Often not on your main home. If you owned it and lived in it for at least two of the five years before the sale, you can usually exclude up to $250,000 of gain from income, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly (IRS Topic 701). This calculator doesn’t estimate income tax; ask a tax professional about your situation.

Is anything I type saved?

No. The calculator runs in your browser and sends nothing to us. A copied link carries the numbers in the address itself, so only people you share it with can open them.
