How To Use This Calculator
Enter the probate-eligible value of the estate, the assets that pass through the will, not everything owned.
Assets with a named beneficiary, RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, life insurance, and jointly-held property with right of survivorship, generally bypass probate entirely. Add an estimated executor or legal fee percentage to see the fuller settlement cost, not just the government's cut.
