Use our free seller closing cost calculator to quickly estimate the expenses involved in selling a property. From agent commission to transfer taxes and closing fees, this tool helps you understand your net proceeds.

Seller Closing Cost Formula

Closing Costs = (Sale Price × Commission Rate) + Taxes + Other Costs
Example:
If the home sale price is $300,000, commission is 5%, taxes $2,500, and other costs $1,000 → (300,000 × 0.05) + 2,500 + 1,000 = $18,500

Seller closing costs are calculated by combining commission, taxes, and other expenses. Our calculator automates this for instant, accurate results.
