What this calculator does
Closing (settlement) costs are the fees paid to complete a purchase on top of the down payment. They vary greatly by country, state and lender, so each item is an input.

How to read the results
Compare your total with lender estimates; large differences are worth questioning.
Assumptions and limitations
- Location-dependent costs (taxes, insurance, fees) are entered by you; the tool never assumes local rates.
- Prepaid items such as escrowed taxes and insurance can be added under “other”.
Financial results are estimates based on the inputs and assumptions shown. They are not financial advice; confirm figures with your lender, provider or a qualified adviser before making decisions.
Questions
Can closing costs be negotiated?
Some lender fees and seller concessions can; government taxes and recording fees usually cannot.
