Formula Used
Net Proceeds = Sale Price - (Sale Price × Commission Rate) - Taxes - Closing Costs - Other Deductions
Where:
- Sale Price - The total amount you're selling the property for
- Commission Rate - Typically 5-6% for real estate agents
- Taxes - Any property taxes due at closing
- Closing Costs - Additional fees for the sale transaction
- Other Deductions - Any additional expenses related to the sale
Worked Example
Let's calculate the net proceeds for a $300,000 property with a 5% commission, $3,000 in taxes, and $2,000 in closing costs:
Net Proceeds = $300,000 - ($300,000 × 0.05) - $3,000 - $2,000
= $300,000 - $15,000 - $3,000 - $2,000
= $275,000
Your net proceeds would be $275,000 after all deductions.
