Giving a gift to a trust fund feels good. Yet, some large gifts may trigger federal gift tax rules. Our Gift Tax Calculator helps you estimate your taxable gift and the tentative gift tax in seconds. You only need to enter a few numbers. The calculator does the math for you.
This tool follows the official U.S. federal gift tax rate schedule. It also lets you apply your remaining lifetime gift tax credit if you know it. That gives you a better estimate of the tax you may owe.
Whether you are giving cash, real estate, stocks, or other property, this calculator makes the process simple.
A Gift Tax Calculator estimates the federal gift tax on a taxable gift. It first subtracts the annual exclusion from the total gift value. Then it applies the IRS progressive tax rates.
Think of it like a shopping receipt. First, you remove the discount. Then you calculate the final amount. Gift tax works in a similar way.
Our calculator saves time. It also helps reduce manual math errors.
Gift tax applies when you give property or money to another person without receiving equal value in return.
Not every gift creates an inheritance tax bill. The IRS allows an annual exclusion for each recipient. Only the amount above that exclusion becomes a taxable gift.
Many people never pay gift tax because their lifetime gift and estate tax credit covers the tentative tax. Even so, some gifts still require filing IRS Form 709.
The Gift Tax Calculator uses two main formulas.
Step 1: Calculate the Taxable Gift
Taxable Gift = Maximum (0, Gift Value − Annual Exclusion)
Where:
Gift Value = Fair Market Value of the gift
Annual Exclusion = IRS annual exclusion amount for the tax year
If the result is less than zero, the taxable gift becomes zero.
Step 2: Calculate the Tentative Gift Tax
Tentative Gift Tax = Base Tax + Tax Rate × (Taxable Gift − Bracket Floor)
The calculator automatically finds the correct IRS tax bracket and applies the proper base tax and marginal rate.
Step 3: Apply Remaining Lifetime Gift Tax Credit (Optional)
Actual Gift Tax Due = Maximum (0, Tentative Gift Tax − Remaining Lifetime Credit)
If your remaining lifetime credit is greater than the tentative tax, your estimated gift tax due is zero.
Using the calculator takes only a minute.
The calculator instantly shows your taxable gift, tentative gift tax, tax bracket, and estimated tax due.
Suppose you give someone property worth $100,000.
Gift Value = $100,000
Annual Exclusion = $19,000
Taxable Gift = $100,000 − $19,000
Taxable Gift = $81,000
The IRS tax table places $81,000 in the $80,001 to $100,000 bracket.
Tentative Gift Tax = $18,200 + 28% × ($81,000 − $80,000)
Tentative Gift Tax = $18,200 + $280
Tentative Gift Tax = $18,480
Now suppose your remaining lifetime gift tax credit equals $25,000.
Actual Gift Tax Due = Maximum (0, $18,480 − $25,000)
Actual Gift Tax Due = $0
Your remaining credit after this gift becomes $6,520.

In most cases, the person giving the gift pays any gift tax due, not the recipient.
A taxable gift is the portion of a gift that exceeds the annual IRS gift tax exclusion after all applicable rules are applied.
No. Many gifts fall below the annual exclusion. Others are covered by the lifetime gift and estate tax credit.

Yes. It uses the official U.S. federal IRS progressive gift tax rate schedule and standard gift tax formulas. It provides an estimate based on the values you enter.
You may. Some gifts that exceed the annual exclusion require IRS Form 709 even if no gift tax is owed because your lifetime credit covers the tax. Always review current IRS filing rules for your situation.
