Seller's Net Proceeds Calculator
Understand exactly what you'll walk away with after your home sale — before you ever reach the closing table.
What Costs Do Sellers Pay?
Settlement / Title Fees
Federal Title's all-inclusive settlement fee covers title search, document preparation, and settlement coordination. No nickel-and-diming.
Transfer Taxes
In DC and Maryland, sellers typically pay the transfer tax portion. In Virginia, transfer taxes are split between buyer and seller or negotiated in the contract.
Real Estate Commission
Agent commissions are typically the largest seller cost, usually ranging from 2–3% per agent side.
Mortgage Payoff
Your existing mortgage(s) are paid off from proceeds at closing. Federal Title handles all payoff coordination.
Pro-Rated Real Estate Taxes
Property taxes are prorated between buyer and seller based on the closing date.
