The Ontario schedule

No Estate Administration Tax if the estate is $50,000 or less.
$15 for every $1,000 (or part thereof) on the portion of the estate value over $50,000.
The estate value is rounded UP to the nearest $1,000 before the tax is calculated. Ontario's own worked example: an estate valued at $239,250 has the tax calculated on $240,000.

Estates of $150,000 or less can use the simplified small estate process; Estate Administration Tax still applies to any value from $50,001 to $150,000.

Common Questions

How is probate fee calculated in Canada?

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.
