Cost Categories

What Makes Up Your Closing Costs

Closing costs fall into a few standard categories, no matter where you're buying.

Paid to Lender
Lender Fees

Origination charges, appraisal, credit report, and underwriting fees cover the cost of processing and approving your loan.

Paid to Title Company
Title & Escrow

Title insurance protects you and the lender against ownership disputes, while escrow fees cover the neutral third party that handles the transaction.

Paid to Government
Recording & Transfer Taxes

Local and state governments charge fees to officially record the deed and collect tax on the transfer of ownership.

Escrow Setup
Prepaid Items

Prepaid interest, property tax reserves, and insurance reserves fund your escrow account so future bills are covered on time.

Optional but Common
Inspections & Surveys

Home inspections, pest inspections, and property surveys protect your investment and are usually paid outside of escrow.

Negotiable
Seller & Lender Credits

Buyers can negotiate for the seller — or the lender, in exchange for a higher rate — to cover part of the closing costs, reducing cash needed at closing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about estimating and covering your closing costs.

What are closing costs?

Closing costs are the fees and prepaid expenses due when you finalize a home purchase, beyond the down payment. They typically include lender fees, title and escrow charges, government recording and transfer taxes, and prepaid items like homeowners insurance and property taxes.

How much are closing costs typically?

Closing costs typically run between 2% and 5% of the home's purchase price, though this varies by location, loan type, and lender. On a $400,000 home, that's roughly $8,000 to $20,000.

Who pays closing costs, the buyer or the seller?

Buyers typically pay most closing costs, including lender fees and title insurance for their own policy. Sellers often pay real estate commissions and sometimes the owner's title policy. Buyers can also negotiate a seller credit to offset some of their costs.

Can closing costs be rolled into the loan?

Some closing costs can be financed depending on the loan program, but most conventional loans require most costs to be paid in cash at closing. A no-closing-cost loan usually means the lender covers costs in exchange for a higher interest rate.

What are prepaid items in closing costs?

Prepaid items are costs paid in advance to set up your escrow account and cover interest that accrues before your first mortgage payment. They typically include several months of property taxes, several months of homeowners insurance, and daily interest from your closing date to the end of the month.

Does this include real estate agent commissions?

No. Real estate commissions are typically negotiated separately and paid by the seller out of sale proceeds, so they are not included in a buyer's cash-to-close estimate. This calculator focuses on buyer-side lender, title, government, and prepaid costs.
