What Probate Will Actually Cost the Estate
In Ontario, what most people call ‘probate tax’ is officially the Estate Administration Tax, payable when an executor applies for a Certificate of Appointment. It’s calculated on the total value of the estate, and for estates that include real property, it can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Our calculator gives executors and families a fast, accurate estimate before they sit down with a lawyer. Use it to plan, budget, and avoid surprises at probate filing.
Estate Administration Tax in Ontario is currently charged at $0 on the first $50,000 of estate value, and $15 per $1,000 (or part thereof) on the value above $50,000. For a $1 million estate, that’s roughly $14,250 owed before any distribution to beneficiaries.
The calculator below uses Ontario’s current rates and applies them to the total estate value you enter, including real estate, investments, vehicles, and personal property net of debts secured against the deceased’s home. Results are an estimate only and don’t replace advice from your lawyer or accountant.

Margaret
“I was dreading the move and I still can’t believe how well it went. Everybody involved was so kind, helpful and patient that I never felt worried. When it came to selling my house, Sherry was so patient, explaining everything and not pushing me to make a decision.”
Angela, Executor
“I hired Gordons when I was recently called upon to act as an estate trustee. They cleaned out an entire lifetime of household goods and personal effects from a home, arranged for minor renovations to prepare the house for listing, and sold the house for fair market value. ”
Joyce & Morton
“From the very beginning we were promptly advised, every step of the way. Our house sold quickly, we can only attribute that to Gordons for their very descriptive advertising. Thank you all for a job well done in a friendly and courteous manner.”
