Seller Net Proceeds Estimator

From sale price to wire amount. This tool subtracts every line item — mortgage payoff, listing fee, buyer-agent commission, WA excise tax, title, escrow, and prep costs — so you can see what actually hits your bank.

Your sale

Approximate balance you'll owe at closing. Set to 0 if you own outright. Get a payoff statement from your lender for exact figures.

Listing-side fee
%

Most Greater Seattle listings still offer 2–3% to attract buyer agents. Set 0% if the buyer is paying their own agent directly.

%

Most King, Snohomish, and Pierce jurisdictions: 0.50%.

In WA the seller pays the owner's title policy (~0.4% of price) plus half of escrow. Typical total $4,000–$7,000 on a $1M home.

Estimate only. Actual proceeds depend on closing date proration of taxes, HOA dues, prepaid utilities, lender payoff interest, and any negotiated repair credits. Your escrow company will produce a final settlement statement.

What's deducted from your sale price

  1. Mortgage payoff — your loan balance plus a few days of accrued interest at closing.
  2. Listing fee — your flat fee with us, or a percentage commission with a traditional agent.
  3. Buyer-agent commission — what you offer to the buyer's agent (often 2–3%, but not required).
  4. WA excise tax (REET) — graduated state rate plus local REET. See the REET calculator for the breakdown.
  5. Title, escrow, recording — third-party closing fees, typically $2,500–$4,500.
  6. Prep, staging, repairs — pre-listing improvements, vendor coordination, anything you spend before listing.
