Net Proceeds

The money one receives from a transaction after all commissions, fees, and related expenses.

Net proceeds differ from profit because they do not account for what one originally paid for (in this instance, the house).

net proceeds

The revenues from the sale of an asset that have been reduced by commissions or other expenses directly related to the sale. Net proceeds from a security's sale are calculated by multiplying the security's price by the result derived from subtracting the brokerage commission and any taxes or other fees realized from the sale from the number of shares sold.
