How Nevada sets executor compensation

The calculator applies the Nevada schedule to the value you enter, measured against the value of the probate estate net of the liens against it. NRS 150.020(4) lets the court add just and reasonable fees when the schedule falls short, and NRS 150.030 allows further sums for extraordinary services such as managing or selling property, contested claims, complicated estate taxes and running the decedent’s business under court order. Under NRS 150.020(1) a fee the will provides is full compensation unless the representative files a written renunciation of it within 60 days after appointment.

The Nevada commission schedule, band by band

Each rate applies only to its own band of the compensable figure:

Nevada executor commission rate by band of the compensable figure
Band of the compensable figure	Rate
on the first $15,000	4%
on the next $85,000	3%
on the balance above $100,000	2%

The bands are read against the value of the probate property after the enforceable liens against it are subtracted, not the headline gross value.

Statute

NRS 150.020(1)

Nevada Revised Statutes, Personal Representative Compensation

Where the will provides no fee, or the representative gives up every claim to the will’s fee, and also where there is no will, the court allows 4% of the first $15,000, 3% of the next $85,000 and 2% of everything above $100,000.
The schedule runs on the whole estate the representative has accounted for, less the liens and encumbrances against it.
Two or more representatives share one fee, divided by the court according to the work each actually did.

The section’s own words

1. If no compensation is provided by the will, or the personal representative renounces all claims thereto, fees must be allowed upon the whole amount of the estate which has been accounted for, less liens and encumbrances, as follows: (a) For the first $15,000, at the rate of 4 percent. (b) For the next $85,000, at the rate of 3 percent. (c) For all above $100,000, at the rate of 2 percent.
