We have affordable loans for buying homes. We're here to help make choosing the right loan simpler.
Get StartedWhat Are Closing Costs?
Closing costs are fees and expenses buyers must pay when buying or refinancing a home. These costs can include lender fees, discount points, home appraisals, title insurance, property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, and more.
Closing costs can range between 2% and 5% of your loan amount, according to Fannie Mae. You may be able to add your closing costs to your loan amount, or you may need to pay them in cash at closing.
Your loan amount can affect how much you'll pay in closing costs. For example, the cost of mortgage discount points is based on your loan amount. The more money you borrow, the more you might pay for discount points.
The purchase price of the home can also affect your closing costs, because you'll often need to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance costs at closing. Generally speaking, the more expensive the home, the more you might pay in taxes and insurance premiums.
How to Calculate Closing Costs for Buyers
Closing costs calculators rely on information you provide, such as:
- Purchase price
- Loan amount
- Yearly property taxes
- Yearly homeowners insurance cost
- Interest rate
- Discount points
Once you've entered this information, you'll get an estimate of what your closing costs might be on a 30-year, Conventional loan with an average loan origination fee. You can also adjust values, like the loan amount, to see how your closing costs could change.
