How this calculator works
Process cost = units × (notice/service cost + administration hours × hourly cost) + shared cost. Gross proceeds = units × proceeds per unit. Net proceeds after estimated costs = gross proceeds × (1 − provider fee fraction) − process cost.Worked example
Ten units with 25 notices and two admin hours at 30 cost 850; a shared 300 adds up to 1,150. Gross proceeds of 2,500 less a 10% provider fee and 1,150 costs leave 1,100.Assumptions
Defaults are illustrative. Replace them with your own measured quantities and documented assumptions. Use matching periods and a consistent currency wherever monetary amounts are entered.Interpreting your results
This is not a lien, notice or auction management service and does not determine legal rights. It does not calculate debt forgiveness, surplus ownership or tax. Verify the local process with qualified advice before entering costs.Calculation formulas
- cost
units*(notice+hours*rate)+shared- gross
units*proceeds- Sale payments after process costs and fees
gross*(1-fee/100)-cost- Total process cost, including staff time
cost- Expected sale payments before costs
gross
Frequently asked questions
What should I check before using the result?
Use the required steps and actual provider quotes. Separate per-unit notices and administration from shared sale costs. Do not reuse these defaults as an instruction to start a legal process.
Does this tool connect to my records?
No. This is a local calculation from the figures you enter. It does not scan accounts, import private records or verify legal, regulatory or exam requirements.
