Why use customizable fee tiers?
Executor and personal-representative compensation rules vary significantly. Some jurisdictions use statutory percentages, some allow reasonable compensation, and some use other methods. A customizable tier calculator is safer than pretending one state's percentages apply everywhere.
How the tier calculation works
Each percentage applies only to the portion of the estate falling within that tier. Any amount above the three entered tiers uses the excess rate. A fixed amount can also be added when appropriate.
