How it works

Seller cash proceeds

Estimate cash released from a home sale after entered selling charges, credits, payoff statements and adjustments. A separately chosen tax reserve reduces cash available for the next use. Mortgage payoff affects cash, not the adjusted tax basis of the home.

Closing cash = sale price − selling commission − other closing costs − buyer credits − loan payoff − other liens + seller credits − seller debits; available cash = closing cash − chosen tax reserve.
