Frequently asked questions

How much are typical closing costs?

Closing costs commonly run about 2 to 5 percent of the home price for a buyer, though the exact figure depends on your lender, location and loan. Many people use 3 percent as a rough estimate.

How are closing costs calculated here?

The percentage cost is the home price times the percentage divided by 100. Any flat fees you enter are added on top, and the total is shown as a percent of the price for context.

What do closing costs include?

They can include loan origination fees, appraisal, title insurance, escrow, recording fees, prepaid taxes and insurance, and more. Use the flat fees field for known charges not covered by the percentage.

Are closing costs separate from the down payment?

Yes. Closing costs are paid in addition to your down payment. Budget for both so you know the total cash needed to close on the home.

Can closing costs be rolled into the loan?

Sometimes. Depending on the loan and lender, some costs can be financed or covered by seller concessions or lender credits. This tool estimates the gross costs before any such arrangements.
