Question

~겠다 vs ~ㄹ/을게다 vs ~ㄹ/을 것이다
What's the difference between ~겠습니다, ~ㄹ/을게요 and ~ㄹ/을 거예요?

examples:
저는 먹을 거예요 / 저는 갈 거예요
저는 먹겠습니다 / 저는 가겠습니다
저는 먹을게요 / 저는 갈게요

Answer

Basically they have same meaning. Also, 게요 can be considered as short version of 거에요.

However, 겠습니다 and 게요 have a little different nuance. 겠습니다 is more formal then 게요, so it is used in News or an announcement.

Answer

Definitely not a Korean teacher myself. But I learned this point from TalkToMeInKorean.
거에요 has more neutral and simple feel. It's a statement without regarding the opinion of your audience or the one you're talking to.

게요 is either a response to someone or a hint that you want a response from them.
For example:
A: 도와 주세요
B: 도와 드릴게요.

A: 갈게.
B: 알았어. 조심해.
