Closing costs typically run 2 to 5% of the purchase price for a buyer. The itemized total above is what you actually plug in line by line.

What is in closing costs

Lender fees (origination, underwriting, processing), third-party fees (appraisal, title, escrow, recording), and prepaid items (property taxes, homeowners insurance, prepaid interest). Some of these you can shop for, some you cannot. Your Loan Estimate breaks this out the same way.

Results are estimates based on user inputs and do not represent loan terms, APR, or a financing offer. Pre-filled values are illustrative examples, not available or quoted rates. Actual terms depend on credit, property, program, and underwriting.

Frequently asked questions

How much are closing costs typically?
Around 2–5% of the loan amount on a purchase. Refinance closing costs run a bit lower because there's no transfer tax in most states.
Can closing costs be rolled into the loan?
On a refinance, yes, they're added to the loan balance. On a purchase, the seller can sometimes contribute toward closing costs depending on the program and the deal.
