Executor fee and commission calculator
Get a transparent, simplified estimate from a published compensation or commission schedule. Choose a supported state, enter the value that schedule uses, and see the tiers and source behind the result. Depending on the state, the same payment is called a fee, compensation, or a commission.
Currently available for California, Florida, and New York. Other states are not estimated until a verified rule is available.
Step 1
Estimate a published state schedule
The free result includes the estimate, tier breakdown, source, and caveats. No email is required.
Before you use the estimate
Each state uses a different definition of the amount eligible for compensation.
California Probate Code § 10800
Input basis: Estimated estate value used for the statutory compensation calculation
California's schedule uses the value accounted for by the personal representative, including the statutory appraisal/gains/receipts and losses basis. It is not simply the inheritance received by beneficiaries.
California published schedule tiers| Tier | Rate |

| $0 to $100,000 | 4% |
|---|
| $100,000 to $200,000 | 3% |
|---|
| $200,000 to $1,000,000 | 2% |

Fee, compensation, or commission — is it the same thing?
Statutes use different words for the same payment. California's Probate Code § 10800 speaks of compensation. Florida Statutes § 733.617 and New York's Surrogate's Court Procedure Act § 2307 speak of a commission. This calculator does not change the estimate based on the word used — it applies the one published schedule that governs the state you select.
