Executor commission by state
The figure
A state and the amount the statute measures.
What counts toward it differs by state; the statute’s own words are shown with the result.
What this does not do
- It does not decide what belongs in the base. That is yours, and each state measures something different.
- It does not add what a statute adds on top — a commission on income, a percentage of unsold real estate or property outside probate, another fiduciary’s share. Those are quoted with the result, not added in.
- It does not work out extraordinary fees. They are separate, and need the court’s approval.
- It does not decide anything. The court sets or reviews what is actually paid.
- It does not create an invoice. Copy the amount if you need it elsewhere.
The scales were checked against the statute text on September 28, 2026. Statutes change: check the current text before relying on a figure.
Choose a state
Fylely has a statutory scale or rule on file for 22 states. For the others it says what the state does instead.
States on file
22 states have a percentage scale or a rule on file: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Hawaii, Mississippi and Montana are on file as having no percentage scale. For every other state nothing is on file: the statute leaves compensation to a reasonable amount the court reviews, or the state has not been checked.
Start from the estate's own inventory
In a Fylely workspace the same scales start from an open estate: pick it and the figure comes from its inventory or its date-of-death values.
