NJ Closing Cost Calculator

The down payment isn't the whole story. Estimate your total cash to close — lender fees, attorney, title, inspections, and prepaid taxes — with every line item adjustable.

Your Purchase

Lender Costs

Underwriting, processing, and any points. Typically 0.5–1% of the loan amount.

Professional & Title

NJ buyers typically pay $1,500–$2,500 through attorney review and closing.

One-time premium set by NJ rate schedules; roughly 0.4–0.6% of price for most purchases.

Add $100–$300 more for radon, oil tank sweep, or termite in older housing stock.

Prepaids & Escrow

Used to estimate the ~3 months of taxes typically collected at closing.

First year is usually paid at closing, plus ~2 months into escrow.

Note: on sales over $1M, New Jersey's supplemental "mansion" fee is paid by the seller under the July 2025 law — it's not in your buyer costs above.

This calculator provides a good-faith planning estimate. Actual costs vary by lender, title company, county, attorney, and loan program — your lender's official Loan Estimate (provided within 3 business days of applying) is the authoritative number. Not legal, financial, or tax advice.
