Understand the math
How this calculator works
Closing costs are the fees paid to originate, process, and legally close a mortgage — separate from the down payment. This calculator estimates lender fees, third-party charges, and prepaid escrow items so you can budget the cash needed beyond your down payment.
Worked example
$380,000 loan amount, estimated closing costs at roughly 3% of the loan.
- Estimated closing costs = $380,000 × 3% = $11,400
- Add prepaid items such as several months of property tax and insurance escrow on top of this figure
Estimated closing costs ≈ $11,400, before prepaid escrow deposits.
How to read your results
Interpretation guidance
- Closing costs commonly fall between roughly 2% and 5% of the loan amount, but vary meaningfully by state and lender.
- Prepaid items (escrowed taxes and insurance) are real cash needed at closing but aren't technically a 'fee' — the calculator separates them so you can see both.
- Seller or lender credits can offset some of these costs — ask what's negotiable in your specific contract.
- Use this estimate to set expectations, then request an official Loan Estimate for figures specific to your transaction.
