The buyer's share under the default rules, from the same math as the calculator. The repeat-buyer column assumes no exemptions and matches our Maryland county guide and DC tax guide. The first-time column assumes the buyer qualifies and the contract does not change who pays.

|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore City | $12,000 | $6,000 | $0 |
| Montgomery County | $9,560 | $4,780 | $0 |
| Prince George's County | $9,800 | $4,900 | $0 |
| Washington, DC | $11,600 | $5,800 | $2,900 |
Your down payment plus your closing costs (your share of transfer and recordation taxes, lender fees, title and settlement charges, prepaids and escrow, and anything else), minus seller credits and the deposit you already paid. Your lender's Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure show the official figure.
They vary by lender, title company, loan type, and settlement date, and we only publish numbers we can source. Enter the figures from your Loan Estimate, or ask your lender and title company for a quote.
This calculator figures recordation tax on the purchase price (the deed), the way county rates are quoted, and adds no separate tax on your loan. Ask your title company whether anything applies to your deed of trust.
Yes. The deposit is credited to you at settlement, so the amount you bring that day is lower by the deposit you already paid.
