Gross Estate

    111,300,000.00

Less: Marital Deduction

    (24,000,000.00)

Less: Charitable deduction

    (15,000,000.00)

Less: Debts

      (7,300,000.00)

Taxable estate

      65,000,000.00

Add: Prior taxable gifts

        8,000,000.00

Cumulative taxable transfers

$ 73,000,000.00

Estate Tax Rates for 2011: Over $1,000,000 = $345,800 + 40% on remaining amount

Tentative Tax = $345,800 + [($73,000,000 - $345,800) * 40%] = $29,145,800

Tax saved on applicable exemption = ($8,000,000 - $5,000,000)*40% = $1,200,000

Gross Estate Tax = Tentative Tax - Tax saved on applicable exemption
=> $29,145,800 - $1,200,000 = $27,945,800

Unified Tax Credit = $2,117,800

Estate tax due = Gross Estate Tax – Unified Tax Credit
=> $27,945,800 - $2,117,800 = $25,828,000
