Scenario visual

Breaks commission and other entered selling costs into a compact stacked bar.

The stacked bar shows the relative size of each selling-cost line.

How it works

This NZ selling costs calculator estimates commission from the sale price scenario and commission percentage, then adds fixed agency, marketing, legal, staging, repair, moving, cleaning, and other cost lines entered by you.

Use it before looking at net proceeds so selling costs are visible as their own planning layer. General information only. Estimate only. Results depend on user inputs.

Example scenario

On a $900,000 sale with 3% commission plus entered costs, total selling costs are shown before any mortgage repayment or settlement adjustment.

A seller comparing campaign options could enter different marketing, staging, or repair estimates to see how the total cost changes without treating the result as pricing advice.

Assumptions
  • Commission percentage and fixed fee should be checked against a real proposal.
  • Sale price is a scenario input, not a valuation or price prediction.
  • Does not include tax, settlement adjustments, break fees, or contract-specific deductions.
What it does not include

This calculator does not include tax, settlement adjustments, mortgage break fees, body corporate adjustments, legal disputes, price predictions, valuation evidence, or contract-specific deductions.

It does not recommend an agency fee, marketing budget, pricing strategy, or sale method. Not legal, financial, tax, valuation, mortgage, insurance, investment, property, lending, or compliance advice.

Source and review notes

The estimate uses user-entered sale and cost figures only. Review commission, marketing, legal, repairs, staging, moving, and other costs against written proposals, agency agreements, solicitor advice, and current invoices or quotes.
