New York Executor Commission Calculator
Quick answer
New York uses the term executor commission, and SCPA § 2307 lists rates for sums received and paid out: 5% of the first $100,000, 4% of the next $200,000, 3% of the next $700,000, 2.5% of the next $4 million, and 2% above $5 million. The statute computes receiving and paying-out commissions separately at one-half of those statutory rates; this simplified calculator treats one eligible input as the same amount on both sides, so it shows the full schedule result. It is informational and does not determine legal entitlement.

Interpret the number
What amount should I enter for New York?
Enter one eligible amount that this simplified estimate treats as both received and paid out. SCPA § 2307 is not a generic gross-estate-value formula: eligible property and partial receiving or paying-out patterns can require a court-directed computation, and this calculator does not decide which items qualify.

Common questions
New York executor compensation FAQs
How much does an executor get paid in New York?
New York SCPA § 2307 sets a tiered executor commission schedule for sums received and paid out. Each side is computed separately at one-half of the statutory rate, so an individual result depends on what was received, what was paid out, and which statutory provisions apply; this calculator uses one simplified same-amount example.

What amount is used to calculate a New York executor commission?
