How the Escrow Calculator Works

This escrow calculator helps you estimate the total cost of any purchase using an escrow service. Here’s how it works:

  • Purchase Price: The initial price of the item or service being purchased.
  • Escrow Service Fee Percentage: The percentage fee charged by the escrow service on the purchase price.
  • Inspection Fee: The fee charged for the inspection service.
  • Miscellaneous Fees: Any other additional fees associated with the escrow service.

How to Use It:

  2. Enter the escrow service fee percentage.
  3. Enter the inspection fee.
  4. Enter any miscellaneous fees.
  5. Click the “Calculate” button to get the results.

How It Calculates:

  • The total escrow service fee is calculated as (Purchase Price * Escrow Service Fee Percentage / 100).
  • Total Fees is the sum of escrow service fee, inspection fee, and miscellaneous fees.
  • Total Cost is the sum of purchase price and total fees.

Limitations:

  • The calculator assumes all inputs are available and valid before calculation.
