The commission rate in New York is fixed. For each Executor (there can be two, if more, they share the same amount as two would get) it goes like this:
The will can state that the executor must waive the fee, but this means that no bank or attorney will serve. It is only recommended if the executor will inherit from the estate.
Gross.
There is no fixed rule. Every company is different, it could be of the gross estate, it could be of the net estate, it could be of the property value. It could be anything, consult the executors
In Wisconsin, the executor's fee for settling an estate is typically determined by the value of the estate's assets. The fee is generally set at a percentage of the estate's total value, commonly around 2-4%, but can also be based on the time and effort involved in administering the estate. Executors may also receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the process. It's advisable to consult with an attorney or follow the guidelines set by the Wisconsin Statutes for specific fee structures.
In New Jersey, 1% of the estate is added to the usual percentages for one executor for each additional executor. They split the total commission equally unless there is an agreement among them to split it in some other proportion. In an estate of about $100,000, the usual commission is 5% for one executor. If there are two executors, the commission would be 6%, with each entitled to 3% unless they agree to a different split.

An executor in New Jersey receives compensation in the form of commissions on the date of death value of the estate and on the income earned by estate assets after the date of death. The rates are: 5% on the first $200,000.; 3.5% on the next 800,000; 2% on the excess over $1,000,000. A court may adjust these percentages somewhat depending on what is defined as the "pains, trouble and risk" the executor is put to in order to handle the estate. In addition, executors get 6% of all income earned by the estate assets. Income includes all post-death dividends from stock, interest on bank accounts and rents from real property, if any. Executors can also get reimbursed for legitimate expenses, but may not charge by the hour for the work that is done.
