Donation value guide, edition 2026.1

Clothing donation values for 2026

Most adult clothing in good used condition is worth a few dollars to the mid-teens per item for a tax deduction: a T-shirt $2.75 to $4.50, jeans $10 to $16, a dress $10 to $15. Coats and suits run higher: a winter coat $19 to $30, a men's suit $28 to $46. That is what a thrift store would charge, not what you paid.

Clothing is the most donated category there is, and the one people most often guess at. The ranges below come from valuation guides published by the organizations that actually resell the clothes, split into three condition tiers and shown with the source they came from.

Chart of every item in this category, with all three tiers side by side, or total up your clothing donation. Look up one item in clothing. Valuing a whole bag? Use the bag calculator.

Designer and luxury apparel is listed separately and carries no suggested value. No guide in our source registry prices a label premium, and inventing one is exactly the thing this dataset does not do, so those items ask you for a figure supported by comparable sales.

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. Fair is the bottom of good used condition; below Fair is generally not deductible.

What is a bag of clothes worth?

There is no published per-bag figure, so the honest answer is the sum of what is in it. An illustrative bag of 20 adult garments at the Good suggested figures (6 T-shirts, 4 jeans, 3 sweaters, 3 blouses, 2 dresses and 2 pairs of sneakers) comes to $166.50. A bag of work clothes with a suit and a coat in it is worth noticeably more: add a men's suit and a winter coat and the same bag gains $60.

Count your own bag with the tally at the top of this page, or use the bag of clothes value calculator when you only know how many bags there were. Children's clothes are priced lower and live on the children's clothing donation values page.

The 30% of original price rule

Some charity guides suggest valuing an unlisted item at 30% of what it cost new. It is a rule of thumb, not IRS guidance. The IRS standard is thrift-shop value: what a willing buyer would pay for the used item, per Publication 561. For ordinary clothing that is the range on this page, and it is usually well under 30% of the tag price.

Photograph it before it goes

Lay the bag out, take one photo, and keep it with the charity's receipt. If the IRS ever asks what was in the bag and what condition it was in, the photo plus the range on this page is the record.

FAQ

Questions about clothing donations

How much can I claim for a bag of clothes?
There is no per-bag figure. A deduction is the sum of the fair market value of each item in the bag, which is why the ranges here are per garment. Counting the bag as you pack it, then valuing item by item, is both the defensible way and, in practice, usually the larger number.
Does the brand change the value?
For ordinary apparel, the published guides price by garment type rather than by label, and so do we. Designer and luxury pieces are the exception: they are listed here without a suggested value, because valuing them takes evidence of what comparable pieces actually sell for, per IRS Publication 561.
What condition do donated clothes have to be in?
Clothing and household items generally must be in good used condition or better to be deductible at all. That is why this guide has no "poor" tier: it would be a column of numbers you are generally not allowed to claim. See IRS Publication 526.
Can I deduct 30% of what I paid for clothes?
No. That is a heuristic some charities print, not the IRS standard. The deduction is fair market value, what the used item would sell for, which IRS Publication 561 describes.
Do I need a receipt for a bag of clothes?
Yes: a receipt or reliable written record for any donation, and a written acknowledgment from the charity once a single contribution reaches $250. See receipts and records.
When do I need Form 8283 for clothing?
When your noncash contributions for the year total more than $500, which several bags of clothing can reach. See the Form 8283 guide.
Are clothing donation values the same in every state?
The federal rule is the same everywhere: fair market value. Thrift prices vary somewhat by region, which is why the guides print ranges. A figure inside the range for the condition you gave is the defensible choice.
Can I deduct clothes in 2026 if I take the standard deduction?
The IRS states that the new deduction for people who do not itemize, beginning in tax year 2026, covers cash gifts only. Donated clothing still generally needs itemizing. See the non-itemizer guide.
