US estate tax calculator
Non-resident aliens get only a $60,000 exemption on US-situated assets — not the $13.99M that US citizens receive. Enter your US stock and ETF holdings to see exactly what your heirs would receive after estate tax, in both USD and INR.

No India-US estate tax treaty. Indian residents get only the $60,000 NRA exemption. Everything above is taxable at 18–40%. US stocks, US-listed ETFs (VOO, SPY, QQQ), and ADRs are all US-situated. Ireland-domiciled UCITS ETFs (CSPX, VUAA) are not US-situated and escape this tax.

How to eliminate this liability
- Switch US ETF positions to Ireland-domiciled UCITS equivalents (CSPX → VOO, VUAA → S&P 500) — not US-situated
- Use the GIFT City IFSC route — assets held via Indian entity, potentially outside your NRA estate
- Indian mutual funds investing in US markets — fund units are Indian assets, not US-situated
