Free calculator
This assignment fee calculator shows the difference between your contract price and the buyer's price. Enter both numbers to see the fee you are proposing, then confirm how the transaction and fee should appear with your title company or attorney.
Proposed assignment fee
$12,000
Buyer price $148,500 minus seller contract price $136,500 equals $12,000.
Closing costs, deposits, credits and taxes are not included here.
Subtract the contract price from the end buyer's price. The difference is the proposed assignment fee before costs and any deal-specific adjustments. If the result is negative, increasing the fee is not a math fix. Revisit the buyer price, seller contract or whether the deal works at all.
At a $136,500 contract price and a $148,500 buyer price, the difference is $12,000. That is the proposed assignment fee. It is a line in the transaction, not the same thing as the seller's net proceeds or your final amount after any costs you are responsible for.
In plain words, a closing statement may show the amount due to the seller under the original contract and a separate assignment fee payable to the assignor. The end buyer's total before other costs reflects both amounts. The exact lines, disclosures and payment flow depend on the contract and closing practice. Check the structure and statement with a title company or attorney before promising how it will be shown.
Each number is an input to the next decision. Check your assumptions before making an offer.
