Buyer Closing Cost Formula

Closing Costs = (Origination Fee % × Loan Amount) + (Property Tax Rate × Home Price) + Insurance + Title/Legal Fees + Other Fees Cash Needed = Down Payment + Closing Costs
ExampleHome Price = $300,000; Loan = $240,000; Down Payment = $60,000 Origination Fee = 1% × 240,000 = $2,400 Property Taxes = 1.2% × 300,000 = $3,600 Insurance = $1,200 Title/Legal Fees = $1,000 Other Fees = $800 Total Closing Costs = 2,400 + 3,600 + 1,200 + 1,000 + 800 = $9,000 Cash Needed = $60,000 + $9,000 = $69,000

Closing costs often surprise buyers. This calculator ensures you budget for every fee beyond your down payment.
