Important notes
- The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21, signed July 4 2025) permanently raised the federal estate tax exemption to $15,000,000 per person ($30,000,000 for married couples with portability), effective for 2026 and beyond (Rev. Proc. 2025-32).
- This calculator does not account for state-level estate or inheritance taxes. Several US states impose their own estate taxes with lower exemption thresholds (e.g., Oregon: $1M, Massachusetts: $2M, New York: $6.94M).
- Charitable bequests, spousal transfers (unlimited marital deduction), and certain other deductions may reduce the taxable estate. This calculator applies only the standard federal exemption.
