Frequently Asked Questions
Illinois has an estate tax exemption of $4 million for 2024. Estates valued below this amount are not subject to Illinois estate tax. However, the calculator applies the progressive rates on the entire taxable estate if it exceeds $4 million, but note that the exemption is actually a credit that effectively exempts the first $4 million. For simplicity, the calculator assumes the gross estate is the taxable amount after exemptions; please consult a tax professional.
Illinois uses a progressive rate schedule ranging from 0% to 16% (with a maximum rate of 16% for estates over $4 million). The tax is calculated on the taxable estate (gross estate minus deductions and exemptions). Our calculator applies the rates to the entered gross estate value directly for estimation purposes.
No. Illinois has its own estate tax separate from the federal estate tax. The federal exemption is much higher (over $12 million in 2024). Illinois's exemption is $4 million, and the rates differ.
