What this calculator does not cover

This calculator is intentionally cautious and simplified. It does not attempt to deal with all reliefs, exemptions or complex estate scenarios.

  • Business Property Relief and Agricultural Property Relief
  • Spouse or charity exemptions
  • Trust-specific IHT rules
  • Foreign domicile / excluded property issues
  • Detailed residence nil-rate band conditions
  • Reduced 36% charity rate planning

For planning that is actually actionable, the numbers should be reviewed in the context of your wider estate, gifting history and available reliefs.
