Anticipating estate taxes is an important part of the estate planning process. A solid estate plan will address the issues of state and federal taxes due upon your death. To determine your taxable estate, estimate your total assets and total liabilities and enter them into the calculator below.
Total Estimated Taxable Estate:
Hypothetical Estate Increase: 3.0% 3.5% 4.0% 4.5% 5.0% 5.5% 6.0% 6.5% 7.0% 7.5% 8.0% 8.5% 9.0% 9.5% 10.0%
This calculator includes the total federal estate tax for a resident of any state that has a "credit" estate tax (sometimes called a "pickup" tax or a "sponge" tax). Many, but not all, states have this type of tax. Your tax may vary depending upon the type of death tax in your state of residence and in any other states in which you may own realty or tangible personal property.
