Missouri Executor Compensation Calculator

For Missouri, this page applies the Mo. Rev. Stat. § 473.153 statutory minimum schedule (5% of the first $5,000, 4% of the next $20,000, 3% of the next $75,000, 2.75% of the next $300,000, 2.5% of the next $600,000, and 2% over $1,000,000) to the personal property administered. It shows the statutory minimum, not a guaranteed fee; the probate division may allow additional reasonable compensation, and the attorney fee is a separate charge on the same schedule.

The estimate is a starting point, not a guaranteed fee. Courts can still review the work performed, the estate documents, and whether the representative is seeking compensation for services beyond the ordinary baseline.

The fee only makes sense in context. If the estate is simple, the ordinary compensation may be easy to estimate. If the estate has title problems, creditor disputes, or tax issues, total administration cost and effort may matter more than the baseline executor figure.

Compare the fee with the Missouri fee calculator, review the role itself in the executor duties guide, and use the Missouri courts page if you need the next filing contact.
