Worksheet: What's Your Estate Worth?

The major difference between your net worth when you are alive and your net worth when you die is the amount of the proceeds from life insurance you own. Since life insurance does not get paid until you die, you need to add the total proceeds from your life insurance to your net worth to determine what your estate is worth.

Determine what your estate is worth:

1.

Place your Net Worth amount here (see calculation below).

$ ________________________
 2.

If you included life insurance cash value in your net worth amount, enter this number here (with some exceptions for Universal Life insurance).

$ ________________________
 3.

Subtract line 2 from line 1.

$ ________________________
 4.

Add up proceeds you will receive from all of your life insurance:*

 

 

(a) Company-provided group life insurance

$ ________________________

 

(b) Term life insurance outside of work

$ ________________________

 

(c) All other life insurance

What's Your Estate Worth?

If this number is greater than the applicable exclusion amount ($11.58 million in 2020 and $11.4 million in 2019), you may be subject to the Estate Tax and should read the appropriate sections above for important tax savings planning techniques and consult with an estate planning professional.
