How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the sale price you expect.
  2. Add your remaining mortgage balance.
  3. Set agent commission (typically 5-6% combined buyer + seller).
  4. Add other closing costs and any pre-sale repairs or staging.

What your results mean

Net proceeds is the wire amount you'll receive at closing. Profit is sale price minus original purchase price minus selling costs — what you actually made over your hold period.

How to maximize your net sale proceeds

  • Negotiate agent commission — 5% is increasingly common for $500k+ homes.
  • Sell in spring/early summer for the highest sale prices in most US markets.
  • Pre-inspect to catch issues before buyers do.
  • Stage key rooms — kitchen, primary bedroom, living room.
  • Consider iBuyers (Opendoor, Offerpad) for speed; expect 3-7% lower net.
