Estimate Your Profit Before Listing Your Home
If you are thinking about selling your home in Calgary, one of the most important numbers you need to know is how much money you will walk away with after the sale. That number is called your net proceeds, and while there are online home sale calculators out there, they often don’t reflect the actual costs specific to the Calgary market.
That’s why we offer a free downloadable home sale net sheet you can use to plug in your numbers and get a personalized estimate. It is simple, accurate, and helps you plan your next move with confidence.

What Is a Home Sale Net Sheet?
A net sheet is a breakdown of the estimated costs involved in selling your home and the amount you will likely walk away with after everything is paid out. It includes your mortgage balance, commissions, legal fees, and other potential expenses related to the sale.
Why You Need a Net Sheet Before You List
Selling your home is not just about getting the highest price. It is about knowing what you will actually net when the deal closes. Without that number, it is hard to plan your next purchase, relocation, or investment.
Using a net sheet can help you:
– Set realistic expectations
– Make smart pricing decisions
– Budget for your next move
– Avoid surprise costs at closing
What You Will Need to Fill Out the Net Sheet
Before you download and fill out the net sheet, gather the following information:
– Your estimated home sale price (your real estate agent can help with this)
– Your remaining mortgage balance
– An estimate of your real estate commissions (In Calgary, this is often 7 percent on the first $100,000 and 3 percent on the balance, but fees are negotiable*)
– Your legal fees (usually $1,200 to $2,000)
– Additional costs such as:
– Mortgage discharge fees
– Staging or repairs
– Condo document fees if applicable
– Moving expenses
Once you have these numbers, enter them into the sheet and get a quick, custom snapshot of your estimated profit.
Example of a Home Sale Net Sheet
Let’s say your home sells for $650,000 and you owe $400,000 on your mortgage. Here is how your net proceeds might look:
– Sale price: $650,000
– Real estate commission: $23,500 (estimate)
– Legal and closing fees: $1,500
– Mortgage payout: $400,000
– Miscellaneous: $1,800
Your estimated net proceeds: $223,200
This is a rough estimate, but it gives you a strong starting point for financial planning.
Seller Tips: Most People Forget These Costs
A lot of sellers in Calgary forget about things like mortgage discharge fees or minor repairs that buyers request after the home inspection. The downloadable net sheet includes prompts to help you remember every detail so your estimate is as accurate as possible.
