Work the setup, then the numbers
Sale price for a target seller net
Work backward from the target net after fixed charges and an agreed percentage commission.
- Required sale price
- $595,778.36
Follow the arithmetic
(250,000 + 310,000 + 4,500) / (1 - 0.0525)
Intermediate values keep precision; dollar results display to cents.
The formula and its assumptions
Required price = (target net + payoff + fixed seller charges) / (1 - commission rate as a decimal)
This calculation assumes the stated commission is the only price-dependent charge. Price-dependent transfer tax or another percentage charge needs its own treatment. A target-net exercise is different from recommending a net listing.
