Important notes
- The Residence Nil-Rate Band (RNRB) of £175,000 may be available if the estate includes a main residence being left to direct descendants (children, grandchildren).
- A reduced IHT rate of 36% applies if at least 10% of the net estate is left to charity. This calculator uses the standard 40% rate.
- Married couples and civil partners can transfer any unused nil-rate band to the surviving partner, potentially doubling the available threshold to £650,000 (plus up to £350,000 RNRB).
