This calculator grosses up legacies at different rates.

Use the calculator for legacies:

  • at the standard rate of Inheritance Tax of 40%

  • where the estate is paying the reduced rate of Inheritance Tax at 36% because at least 10% of the estate has been left to charity

  • which qualify for an additional threshold, sometimes known as the residence nil rate band (RNRB)
