Choosing the Right Escrow Fee Structure for Your Deal
Flat fee, percentage, or tiered — a breakdown of escrow pricing models and which one actually saves you money on different deal sizes.
Escrow pricing models vary wildly. Some platforms charge a flat fee, some take a percentage, some tier by deal size. Understanding how the math plays out at your typical deal value can save thousands per year.
Flat fee#
Best for high-value deals. A flat $50 fee on a $10,000 deal is 0.5% — far cheaper than a 2–4% percentage model. The downside: punitive on small deals.
Percentage#
Most fair across deal sizes. Escrows Click charges a flat 2% — predictable, transparent, and competitive. See /fees for the live calculator.
Tiered#
Common with banks and legacy escrow firms. Looks attractive at small sizes, gets expensive past the first tier. Read the fine print.
Escrows Click holds funds in a neutral wallet, verifies delivery, and only releases payment when both parties are satisfied. Start a deal in two minutes at escrows.click.
