Net Proceeds Calculator

Estimate what you walk away with after selling. Texas has no state transfer tax, but commissions, title fees, and buyer concessions still take a meaningful slice.

$

Not your current balance: a payoff quote also carries interest accrued to the closing date, and any prepayment penalty. Ask your servicer for a payoff statement.

%

Listing + buyer agent. DFW averaged 5.54% in early 2026 - the NAR settlement changed how it is negotiated, not the level.

$

Set by the state, not the title company: this is the TDI promulgated premium for your sale price (schedule effective March 2026). In Texas the seller customarily pays it - negotiable in the contract, but near-universal in DFW.

$

Closing fee, tax certificate, courier, wire, doc prep. These are not promulgated and vary by company - typically $500-$1,000 on a DFW sale.

%

Buyer credits for closing costs

$
$
$

Transfer fee plus the resale certificate the buyer’s lender requires. Usually $375-$600 in a DFW HOA - leave it at 0 only if the home genuinely has no association.

$

$500-$650 for a new residential survey. If you already have one, you can usually reuse it by signing a T-47 affidavit and pay nothing - so leave this at 0 unless you know yours is missing or your buyer’s lender rejected it.

$

Texas property tax proration

Texas taxes are paid in arrears, so at closing you credit the buyer for the part of the year you owned the home. Enter your annual tax bill and closing month to include it.

Note:

Texas does not impose a state real estate transfer tax. This models property-tax proration (the credit you owe the buyer for owning the home part of the year); your closing statement may also prorate HOA dues and mortgage interest to the exact closing date. Mali provides a personalized seller-net sheet before listing.

Note:

Recoup percentages and job costs are the 2025 Cost vs Value Report (Zonda/JLC), Dallas metro - the Dallas column, not the national average, so they already reflect what these projects actually return here. Rows marked * (paint, landscaping, flooring, pool) are industry/staging estimates outside that report. The horizon discount is our own estimate, not a published figure. Actual lift depends on neighborhood comps, finish quality, and market timing - Mali can tell you which of these move price in your zip code.
