Probate Fee Calculator by Province

Estimate the court fee or estate administration tax a province charges on an estate, from the official fee schedule, with the math shown.

Probate fees are one of the most misunderstood costs in settling an estate. They are real, they vary a lot by province, and in most provinces they are far smaller than the numbers people repeat at kitchen tables. Choose a province, enter an estate value, and see the fee and exactly how it is calculated.

This estimates the court fee or estate administration tax only. It is never the full cost of settling an estate, which can include legal fees, accounting, and taxes owed by the estate. Schedules are drawn from the provincial court and government sources listed below and carry the last verified date shown. Quebec is not in this calculator: a notarial will there does not go through court verification, and other wills follow a different process. General information only, not legal advice.
