Each province sets its own schedule. Most charge a percentage or a fixed amount per $1,000 of estate value above a threshold; Alberta uses flat tiers, Manitoba charges nothing, and Quebec charges a flat court fee unrelated to estate value. This calculator applies the province you select to the estate value you enter.
Which province has the highest probate fee?
At $500,000, Nova Scotia's statutory tax schedule and Ontario's Estate Administration Tax are both among the higher amounts; Manitoba charges nothing and Quebec charges a flat $241 regardless of estate value. Compare your own estate value in the table below.
Is there a probate fee calculator I can use directly from the government?
Ontario is the only province with an official interactive calculator. The other provinces publish their fee schedules but no interactive tool; this page applies those published schedules for you.
