Seller Closing Cost Calculator
The costs that come out of your side of the table, itemized rather than lumped into one scary percentage.
Common questions
What are seller closing costs?
The costs deducted from your side of the settlement statement: agent commission, your share of realty transfer tax, title and settlement fees, deed recording, attorney or document preparation, and prorated property taxes up to the closing date. They commonly total 7-9% of the sale price before any mortgage payoff.
Who pays transfer tax in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania's realty transfer tax is customarily split 50/50 between buyer and seller. Inside the City of Pittsburgh the combined rate is 5% — 3% city, 1% school district, 1% state — so on a $250,000 sale the full tax is $12,500 and the customary seller share is $6,250. Many surrounding boroughs total 2%.
Who pays transfer tax in Tennessee?
Tennessee's recordation transfer tax is $0.37 per $100 of value under T.C.A. 67-4-409, and the statute places it on the grantee — the buyer — when the deed is recorded. Tennessee sellers therefore usually see no transfer tax line at all.
Do cash buyers pay the seller's closing costs?
That depends entirely on the buyer and should be in writing. EasyOffer pays the customary closing costs and charges no commission or fees, so the offer figure is what reaches you, less any mortgage payoff or liens.
