Gift tax calculator
In 2026 you can give one person $19,000 without that gift, on its own, counting as a taxable gift. Type what you gave one person. We show what’s over $19,000. We don’t work out the lifetime gift tax. That depends on gifts you’ve already reported.

Here’s one
A $25,000 gift to one person in 2026
A $25,000 gift to one person in 2026. The exclusion is $19,000, so $6,000 sits over it. A $19,000 gift is fully inside.
How it works
The gift minus $19,000, and never below zero. That exclusion is per person, per year. A gift of a future interest doesn’t get it.
Where this comes from
For 2026 you can give one person $19,000 before that gift, on its own, counts toward taxable gifts. The IRS gift-tax FAQ has the exclusion table. We do not figure the lifetime tax.
Good for
Checking whether one gift clears the 2026 exclusion. This doesn’t fill in the gift-tax form.
