How Much Does an Executor Get Paid? Executor Fees by State (2026)

The question families ask me most often when a son or daughter agrees to settle a parent’s estate is how much the executor gets paid. The answer depends on the state where the estate is probated. Twenty seven jurisdictions leave the executor’s fee to the court as reasonable compensation, with no number in the statute. Twenty three states put a number in statute, as a schedule, a cap, a minimum or, in Florida, a schedule the law presumes reasonable. The rate is only half of the answer, because the value each percentage applies to differs from state to state. Each row below was read against the state’s own statute or court rule on September 23, 2026.

Look up a state and estimate the fee

Choose a state to see its rule in one sentence. For a state that sets a schedule, type the value of the estate and the estimator applies the schedule tier by tier, the way a tax bracket works. The estimate is for the executor’s ordinary fee only, before any extra pay for selling real estate, litigation or tax work.

State

Value of the estate

Estimate only, not legal advice. A will can set a different fee, a court can change the fee, and the executor can decline it. In Florida the value you type should include the income the estate earns during administration, because the Florida commission is figured on the inventory value plus that income.

Executor, attorney and trustee fees, state by state

A schedule sets the fee when the will is silent. A cap limits a fee the court sets, a minimum is a floor the court can exceed, and a presumed schedule can be raised or lowered by the court. The attorney and trustee columns show the rule and the statute. The full text of every rule, including the base and the co-executor rules, is in the data files.

Seven states set the estate attorney’s fee by schedule (Arkansas, California, Iowa as a cap, Missouri as a minimum, Nevada as an optional method, Wyoming, and Florida as a presumed schedule). Four set a statutory fee for some trustees (Georgia, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York). New Hampshire’s rule could not be read on any official site or mirror.

Worked examples on $500,000, $1,000,000 and $3,000,000

The executor’s ordinary fee in each state with a schedule, before extraordinary services and before income tax to the executor. The amount is treated as the base described in the last column. A cap shows the most the court may allow, not the likely award. Virginia’s statute says reasonable compensation, and its row shows a county guideline for comparison.

Swipe the table sideways to see every column.

The executor's fee computed from each state's schedule on estates of $500,000, $1,000,000 and $3,000,000, with what the amount represents in that state
State	Rule	$500,000	$1,000,000	$3,000,000	What the amount stands for
Alabama	Cap in statute	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	A cap, not an award. Alabama allows up to 2.5% of property received plus 2.5% of disbursements, so the figure assumes the whole estate is received and paid out.
Arkansas	Cap in statute	$15,150	$30,150	$90,150	A cap on personal property fully administered. Real estate is not in the base.
California	Statutory schedule	$13,000	$23,000	$43,000	Figured on the estate accounted for, meaning the inventory value plus gains and receipts, with no deduction for mortgages.
Florida	Presumed schedule	$15,000	$30,000	$80,000	Figured on the inventory value of the probate estate plus the income the estate earns during administration, so include that income in the amount. The figure is presumed reasonable, and a court can change it.
Georgia	Statutory schedule	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	Georgia pays 2.5% of money received plus 2.5% of money paid out, so the figure assumes an all-cash estate that is received and paid out.
Iowa	Cap in statute	$10,120	$20,120	$60,120	A cap on the gross probate inventory. Life insurance counts only when it is payable to the estate.
Kentucky	Cap in statute	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	A cap on the personal estate only. Up to 5% of income collected is added.
Louisiana	Statutory schedule	$12,500	$25,000	$75,000	Figured on the inventory. The rate applies when the will is silent, and the court may raise it.
Maryland	Cap in statute	$19,080	$37,080	$109,080	A cap on the property subject to administration.
Missouri	Minimum in statute	$14,050	$26,550	$66,550	A minimum on personal property plus real estate sold under court order. The court must allow more when more is reasonable.
Nevada	Statutory schedule	$11,150	$21,150	$61,150	Figured on the estate accounted for, less liens and encumbrances.
New Jersey	Statutory schedule	$20,500	$38,000	$78,000	The corpus commission only. New Jersey adds 6% of income received.
New York	Statutory schedule	$19,000	$34,000	$84,000	Figured on property both received and paid out, at half the rate for each. Specific bequests are left out.
North Carolina	Cap in statute	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	A cap of 5% on receipts, shown on receipts only. Distributions to heirs earn nothing.
Ohio	Statutory schedule	$15,000	$25,000	$65,000	Figured on personal property, its income and real estate sold. Unsold real estate earns 1%.
Oklahoma	Statutory schedule	$12,600	$25,100	$75,100	Figured on the whole estate accounted for.
Oregon	Statutory schedule	$10,630	$20,630	$60,630	Figured on property subject to the court. Oregon adds 1% of taxable property passing outside probate.
South Carolina	Cap in statute	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	A cap on personal property plus real estate sold. Up to 5% of income is added.
South Dakota	Statutory schedule	$12,585	$25,085	$75,085	Figured on personal property plus real estate sold, and the statute says the fee may be allowed rather than must be.
Texas	Statutory schedule	$25,000	$50,000	$150,000	Texas pays 5% of cash received or paid out, leaving out bank cash held at death, life insurance and payments to heirs, so the figure is only the ceiling of 5% of gross value.
Virginia	Guideline only	$24,000	$41,000	$81,000	A Fairfax County Commissioner of Accounts guideline, not a statute. Income adds 5%.
West Virginia	Statutory schedule	$20,000	$33,000	$73,000	Figured on the personal estate, its income and real estate sold. Unsold real estate earns 1%.
Wisconsin	Statutory schedule	$10,000	$20,000	$60,000	Figured on the inventory less mortgages and liens, plus net gains.
Wyoming	Statutory schedule	$10,350	$20,350	$60,350	Figured on the probate estate accounted for. The attorney receives the same amount separately.

In Florida the lawyer’s fee is on top of the executor’s

Florida has two separate schedules the law presumes reasonable, one for the personal representative and one for the estate’s attorney. From $100,000 to $3,000,000 they produce the same number. When two people serve together on an estate of $100,000 or more, each takes a full commission.

Florida personal representative commission and attorney fee on estates of $500,000, $1,000,000 and $3,000,000
Florida	$500,000	$1,000,000	$3,000,000
Personal representative	$15,000	$30,000	$80,000
Attorney	$15,000	$30,000	$80,000
Both	$30,000	$60,000	$160,000
Two co-representatives plus the attorney	$45,000	$90,000	$240,000

How the Florida commission works, and when a family member should decline it, is covered in Florida personal representative fees. The Florida probate cost calculator adds the attorney fee and court costs, and Florida trustee fees explains the trustee side. For a Florida estate that needs a lawyer, see Florida probate.

Data and citation

The data is free to reuse with credit. The CSV file and JSON file hold all 51 rows with every note and citation, and the data dictionary defines each column. Each schedule is stored as machine-readable tiers, so a fee can be computed directly from the file. The full dataset, including the saved text of every statute, is also kept on GitHub (Microsoft’s public archive, also used by the Library of Congress), Kaggle (Google’s public data platform) and Hugging Face.
