Cost of Selling Calculator
The True Cost of Selling Your Home
Map every cost — agent commission, marketing, prep, and your loan payout — to see your real net position. Five minutes. Real numbers.
When it comes to selling property in Australia, the cost of selling a house is more than most homeowners realise. Our selling costs calculator helps you map out what's involved — agent commission, marketing, conveyancing, prep work, and any outstanding loan — so you can work out your true net position before you list.
Most sellers underestimate their total selling costs by 20–40%. The biggest gaps are usually marketing budget, realistic prep budget, and the impact of an outstanding mortgage on what you walk away with.

How SellSmart helps
You've seen the numbers. Now make them work for you.
A calculator is a starting point. Most sellers leave thousands on the table because they sign with the wrong agent, prep the wrong things, or rush the timeline. We help you do all three properly — for free, all the way to sale.
Clarity before you commit
Numbers are easy. Decisions are hard.
We turn your calculator output into a real plan — what to prep, what to skip, what to budget. So you walk into agent conversations knowing exactly what your home is worth and what it'll cost to get there.
Choose the right agent, not the loudest
The best agent for your home isn't always the one with the biggest billboard.
We shortlist agents in your suburb based on what they've actually sold — not what they pitch. You compare three vetted options side-by-side. No commitment, no pressure.
Maximise every dollar at sale
Prep, agents, marketing, timing — all influence your final number.
We guide every decision from first conversation to settlement, so you're not learning expensive lessons mid-campaign. Free for you. Always.
15 minutes. No commitment. Tailored to your property.
