Probate Estate Valuation Calculator

Our Probate Estate Valuation Calculator is designed to help you work through the estate valuation for probate process in a structured way. It prompts you to list assets and liabilities so you can estimate the gross and net value of estate for probate. This can be a useful starting point if you are trying to understand the likely value of an estate before applying for probate, requesting legal advice, or preparing inheritance tax information (you may also be interested in our quick inheritance tax calculator) .

The valuation of estate for probate can involve much more than adding up a few obvious assets. Property, bank accounts, savings, investments, vehicles, jewellery, household contents, money owed to the deceased and other assets may all need to be considered. Liabilities also matter, as debts and certain expenses can affect the overall position. By entering figures step by step, this calculator helps you create an estimated picture of both the gross estate and the net estate.

How to use the calculator

Start by adding each known asset under the most suitable heading, such as property, bank accounts, investments, personal possessions, business interests or money owed to the deceased. Then add any known liabilities, such as mortgages, loans, credit cards, unpaid bills, tax owed or funeral expenses. As you enter figures, the calculator will estimate the gross and net value of estate for probate automatically.

Probate Valuations

If you are unsure about the value of any asset, the figure should be treated with caution. The Probate Network can help you request specialist support where needed, including probate quotes for legal advice, RICS valuations for property, and valuations for chattels, jewellery, antiques, art and other personal possessions. This can be particularly important where the valuation of estate for probate is not straightforward, where there may be inheritance tax implications, or where an executor wants stronger evidence to support the figures used.

If the gross estate value indicates a significant Inheritance Tax or administration cost liability, an estate expenses loan can help cover these costs before the estate is distributed.
