What does the Georgia transfer tax cost when I sell my house?
The Georgia Department of Revenue sets the state real estate transfer tax at $1 for the first $1,000 of the sale price and 10 cents for each additional $100 (source: dor.georgia.gov, Real Estate Transfer Tax). The seller is liable for it unless the contract says otherwise.

What do Atlanta sellers ask about net proceeds?
What is a net proceeds calculator?
A net proceeds calculator estimates the money left after you sell a house and pay off the costs of the sale. It subtracts your mortgage payoff, agent commission, closing costs, repairs and the months of bills you keep paying while the house is for sale, so you can compare listing with a cash offer.
How is the Georgia transfer tax worked out?
The Georgia Department of Revenue sets the real estate transfer tax at $1 for the first $1,000 of the sale price and 10 cents for each additional $100. A $300,000 sale owes $300. The seller is liable for it, although the sales contract can say the buyer pays it instead.
What seller closing costs should I expect in Atlanta?
Seller closing costs in Atlanta often include the closing attorney’s fee, title charges, the Georgia transfer tax, recording fees and any prorated property taxes or HOA dues. The amount changes from one sale to the next, so the calculator lets you type in the percentage your attorney or agent quotes you for your sale.
Are real estate commissions set by law?
No. Commissions are not set by law and can be negotiated with the agent you hire. Your listing agreement states what you will pay. Type the total rate you expect to pay into the calculator, including any amount you agree to offer toward the buyer’s agent.
Why does the calculator count months of holding costs?
While a house is listed, you keep paying the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep. Those monthly bills come out of your proceeds just like a commission does. The calculator multiplies your monthly holding cost by the months you expect the house to take to sell and close.
Does the result tell me what my house is worth?
No. The result is for illustration only. It is not an appraisal, an estimate of value or an offer, and it will not be honored as a price. The sale price you type in is your own guess, so the result is only as accurate as the numbers you enter for your house.
How do I find my mortgage payoff amount?
Ask your lender for a payoff statement. It shows the exact amount needed to pay off the loan on a given date, including interest up to that day. The balance on your monthly statement is usually a little lower than the payoff, so use the payoff statement for the most accurate result.
What does the cash offer break-even number mean?
It is the cash offer that would leave you about the same money as the listing route you entered. It adds back the transfer tax a cash sale would still owe. A cash offer above that number would leave you more; a lower offer could still fit if speed or no repairs matters most.
Is a cash sale always the better choice?
No. A move-in ready house in a strong market can bring more money with an agent if you can wait for a buyer. A cash sale often fits a house that needs repairs, an inherited house, or a seller who wants a set closing date. The calculator helps you compare both routes.
