The average Inheritance Tax (IHT) bill in the UK is a staggering £170,000, yet reducing your liability is often simple. Ironically most people don't even know their own potential IHT bill until it's too late. That's why we built a simple inheritance tax calculator to help you estimate your potential IHT bill and then show you how to easily reduce it
Another important reason why we created the inheritance tax calculator was to show people how much of their hard-earned money the taxman could take when they die. You can find details of how to use the calculator below.

We also wanted to go one step further and actually help people legally and fairly stop the taxman from raiding their children's inheritance. That is why we have also negotiated a limited offer of a free inheritance tax check with a tax expert for readers of this article. Those quick enough to claim the offer will be able to have a FREE conversation with a local inheritance tax expert who will calculate their exact IHT bill based on the latest 2017 rules. They will also explain what steps you can take to reduce it.
