Enter Your Assumptions
1. Gross Estate:   $
2. Funeral expenses paid out of your estate (if any):   $
3. Debts owed at the time of death:   $
4. The marital deduction (generally, the value of the property that passes from your estate to your surviving spouse):   $

Values illustrated depend on assumptions used. Any change in hypothetical annual return will modify values illustrated. We recommend that you use multiple interest rate scenarios to illustrate the impact of various earnings rates over the projected period. Investments offering the potential for higher rates of return also involve a higher degree of risk to principal. Also, be aware that high rates of return are generally not sustainable over long periods of time.

This calculator is not intended to serve as legal or investment advice. All examples are hypothetical and intended for illustrative purposes only. Review the assumptions when applying any results to your own situation. The information used in the functions of the calculator is based on our interpretation of the current tax laws; such laws may change from time to time. Withdrawals of taxable amounts may be subject to ordinary income tax. Distributions may also be characterized as a taxable distribution that triggers Generation-skipping Transfer Tax (GSTT). You should periodically review your overall tax plan with your CPA. We cannot give legal advice.
