How Ontario and Toronto rebates differ

Ontario offers a provincial land transfer tax refund for eligible first-time home buyers. Toronto administers a separate municipal rebate for qualifying purchases in the city. Eligibility and maximum amounts depend on the applicable program rules, so verify the official guidance before closing.

When to use the calculator

Use the dedicated calculator after reviewing rebate eligibility to estimate provincial tax and, for Toronto properties, municipal tax from the purchase price.

Best for Ontario borrowers

Buyers, renewers, switchers, refinancers, self-employed borrowers, and newcomers comparing real mortgage choices.

Broker verification

Online calculators are estimates. We verify lender rules, rate holds, penalties, and approval conditions before you act.

Official sources: Review the Ontario land transfer tax guide and the City of Toronto rebate and refund guidance. Program rules can change, and this page is general information rather than tax or legal advice.
