What the Calculator Uses

Texas ordinary commissions are generally based on commissionable cash actually received and paid out during administration. They are not based on a flat percentage of total estate value.

Extraordinary Fees

Courts may approve additional compensation beyond the ordinary fee or commission for exceptional services such as selling real property, managing a business, handling tax matters, or dealing with litigation.

Taxes on Executor Pay

Executor compensation is taxable ordinary income, not an inheritance. You must report it on your personal tax return. Many executors who are also beneficiaries choose to waive the fee to avoid the income tax, accepting their inheritance instead.
