Net proceeds calculator

Net proceeds = sale price − your share of the escrow fee − any broker commission. On a $200,000 sale with a split escrow fee and no broker, you net close to the full price; escrow fees on six-figure deals are only a few hundred dollars.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate net proceeds from selling my store?

Net proceeds = sale price − the seller's share of the escrow fee − any broker commission. On a $200,000 sale with a split escrow fee and no broker, a seller nets close to the full price, since escrow fees on six-figure deals are only a few hundred dollars.

What fees reduce a seller's proceeds?

The main deductions are the escrow fee — often split with the buyer — and, if you use one, a broker commission, typically 10% to 15% on smaller deals. Listing on TrustProfit is free, so there's no upfront listing fee to deduct.

Who pays the escrow fee?

The escrow fee is negotiable — it can be paid by the buyer, by the seller, or split 50/50 — and is agreed up front as part of the deal terms. TrustProfit's escrow-fee calculator shows each party's share for any split.

Does it cost anything to list a store on TrustProfit?

Listing is free. You create a listing, optionally verify it through MerchantFlow, and it appears on the public revenue leaderboard at no upfront cost — fees only come into play when a deal closes through escrow.
