Cash to Close Calculator

Down payment gets all the attention, but cash to close is the real gate. It's down payment plus closing costs, minus your deposit, seller credits and any assistance.

Seeing all the levers in one place is what makes a purchase feel possible — most buyers need less than they assume.

What happens if you change this

You'd bring $19,375 to the closing table. Your $5,000 earnest money already counts toward it, and credits reduce it further. A $5,000 seller credit would drop this to $14,375. You haven't included down payment assistance — Pennsylvania programs can cover a meaningful portion with a 640 minimum credit score. Add an amount to see the effect.

Questions people ask

Does my earnest money reduce what I owe at closing?
Yes. It's credited to you at settlement, so it counts toward your down payment and closing costs rather than being an extra cost.
How much seller credit can I ask for?
Program limits apply, often 3–6% of the price depending on loan type and down payment. Whether a seller agrees is a negotiation, not a guarantee.

Estimates for education only — not a loan approval, rate quote, or commitment to lend. Actual figures depend on credit, property, program guidelines, and market conditions at the time of lock. Corie Adams · NMLS #1875205 · Network Funding, LP · NMLS ID #2279 · Equal Housing Opportunity.
