Estate tax calculator Philippines

Since the TRAIN law, the estate of a person who dies is taxed at a flat 6% of the net estate.

Enter the value of everything the person left and the deductions to see the estate tax the heirs have to pay before transferring the property.

How it's calculated

Start from the gross estate: the value of all the property the person left.
Take off the standard deduction of ₱5,000,000, the family home up to ₱10,000,000, and other allowed deductions such as claims against the estate.
The estate tax is 6% of what is left, the net estate.

An estate of ₱12,000,000 that includes a ₱4,000,000 family home has a net estate of ₱3,000,000. The estate tax is ₱180,000.
