Florida Executor Fee Calculator
Quick answer
Florida's ordinary-service personal representative commission is based on the compensable value of the estate: the inventory value of probate estate assets plus income earned during administration. The statute presumes a tiered commission reasonable in formal administration—3% of the first $1 million, 2.5% of the next amount through $5 million, 2% through $10 million, and 1.5% above $10 million. This calculator models that ordinary-service schedule only and does not determine legal entitlement.
