Estate Sale Settlement Calculator

Put the numbers from one sale on a single settlement line: gross recorded sales, the expenses your agreement says are deducted, your commission percentage and the commission basis. The result is a planning estimate — not a contract interpretation or final accounting statement.

Only enter costs your actual agreement treats as client-side settlement deductions.

Planning estimate only. Estate-sale agreements differ. Taxes, payment-processor fees, reimbursements, minimum fees, reserves, labor charges and other terms may be handled differently. Verify the signed agreement and reconcile against actual cash, card, check and processor records before issuing a final client statement.

Need the inventory and the settlement to stay connected?

EstateNest keeps room-by-room inventory, price tags, sale-day records, expenses, unsold disposition, tasks and the client settlement in one local-first file.

What this calculation is doing

If commission is based on gross sales, the commission is the entered percentage of gross recorded sales, and deductible expenses are then subtracted separately from the client payout. If your agreement instead applies commission to gross less deductible expenses, the calculator removes those entered deductions before applying the percentage.

Neither method is presented as the correct method for every business. The agreement you signed with the client is the source for which expenses, percentages and calculation basis actually apply.

Why reconcile before sending the statement

A register total is only as complete as the entries inside it. Before treating the result as final, compare it with the actual cash count, card processor, checks, refunds, deposits and any other source records used during the sale. A local calculator can perform arithmetic; it cannot confirm that every transaction or contractual adjustment was entered.
