Selling a home isn’t just about finding a buyer — it’s about understanding the numbers behind the deal. Whether you're a homeowner preparing for a move, a real estate agent guiding clients, or an investor managing your next exit, one question matters most:
“How much money will I actually walk away with?”
Introducing the Home Sale Proceeds Calculator
If you’ve ever tried to calculate how much profit you’d make after selling your house, you know it’s rarely straightforward. Between closing costs, commissions, and mortgage payoff, estimating net proceeds can quickly become a guessing game.
The new Home Sale Proceeds Calculator from REI Lense is designed to solve that problem — clearly, quickly, and accurately.
What It Does
This calculator gives you a personalized estimate of your net proceeds — the amount you’ll actually keep after selling your home. It factors in:
- Expected sale price,
- Remaining mortgage balance,
- Real estate agent commissions (fully adjustable),
- Closing costs,
- Optional selling expenses (repairs, staging, etc.).
You enter your numbers, and we handle the rest. No spreadsheets. No confusion.
Let’s Look at an Example:
Imagine you're preparing to sell your home. You’ve made some upgrades, cleaned things up, and now you're ready to list. Here's what your numbers might look like:
Estimated Net Proceeds: $162,350.
This is the amount you’ll likely walk away with after everything is paid — your true profit from the sale.
It’s the number that helps you make real plans:
- Will you reinvest it into a new property?
- Use it as a down payment?
- Set it aside as savings?
Whatever your goal, now you’re working with real numbers — not guesses.
Who Should Use It?
This tool is built for:
- Homeowners who want clarity before they list,
- Agents who need to help clients set realistic expectations,
- Investors comparing different exit strategies,
- Anyone thinking about selling and wanting real numbers, fast.

For STR Investors: Meet Rent Confidence Score & Market Score
If you work with short-term rentals (STRs), you'll love our newest additions to REI Lense reports:
Confidence Score
A quick-read indicator that shows how reliable the STR data is for a particular property or area. The more comparables and the better the comparables match, the higher the score, giving you peace of mind when evaluating performance.
Market Score
This helps you evaluate the overall strength of an STR market based on revenue, seasonality, demand, and other local trends.
Together, these two scores give investors more confidence and insight when analyzing short-term rental deals.
