Other Expenses - Any additional fees or costs associated with the sale

Worked Example

Let's calculate the proceeds for a $500,000 residential property sale in NYC:

Sales Price: $500,000
Closing Costs: 3% of sales price = $15,000
Transfer Tax: 1.25% of sales price = $6,250
Other Expenses: $2,000 (broker fees, etc.)

Net Proceeds = $500,000 - ($15,000 + $6,250 + $2,000) = $476,750

Example Result

For this $500,000 sale, you would receive approximately $476,750 after all costs and taxes.
