Children's clothing donation values
Children's clothing turns over fast, which is why it dominates so many donation bags and why it is worth valuing properly rather than lumping it in with adult clothes. The published guides price it separately, and lower, so this page keeps it separate too.
- Items listed

- Range
- $0.50 to $26
Sizes are grouped the way the source guides group them: infants, toddlers, and then girls' and boys' clothing. Where a guide prices a garment type without naming an age band, the range is the one the guide printed, and the note on the source says so.
- Like new
- Unworn or barely used, with tags or as good as. The top of the published range.
- Good
- Used, complete, clean, and working, with no notable damage. The middle of the range.
- Fair
- Visible wear but still usable and saleable. The bottom of the range, and generally the lowest condition that can be claimed at all.
Ranges are per item, in US dollars, for items in the condition described. Pick the tier that honestly describes what you gave, then a figure inside that band. Household goods generally must be in good used condition or better to be deductible at all, which is where the Fair tier stops.

You value these yourself: Special-Occasion Dress
No guide in our source registry publishes a price for this garment, so DeductiBee has no suggested value to show. Value it at what it would sell for on a thrift-store rack today, per IRS Pub 561. Goodwill International and Goodwill of Northern New England both publish the same fallback for items not on their lists: 30% of the item's original purchase price. That is a published starting point, not a rule, and it runs high for anything heavily used. Clothing must be in good used condition or better to be deductible at all (IRC 170(f)(16), Pub 526).

No guide in our source registry publishes a price for this garment, so DeductiBee has no suggested value to show. Value it at what it would sell for on a thrift-store rack today, per IRS Pub 561. Goodwill International and Goodwill of Northern New England both publish the same fallback for items not on their lists: 30% of the item's original purchase price. That is a published starting point, not a rule, and it runs high for anything heavily used. Clothing must be in good used condition or better to be deductible at all (IRC 170(f)(16), Pub 526).
