What Is Land Transfer Tax?
Land Transfer Tax (LTT) is a provincial tax paid by the buyer when purchasing a home or property in Ontario. It is calculated based on the purchase price of the property and must be paid at closing. For properties located in Toronto, an additional Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT) applies. However, buyers in Mississauga only pay the Ontario Land Transfer Tax (LTT).
The tax is collected by the province on the closing date and must be paid by the buyer before the property title is transferred.
Why Is a Land Transfer Tax Calculator Important?
Land Transfer Tax can add thousands of dollars to your closing costs. For many buyers especially first-time buyers this expense is often underestimated.
A Land Transfer Tax Calculator helps you:
Plan Your Finances
Understand how much cash you need on closing day.
Budget More Accurately
LTT can significantly affect your total purchase cost.
Compare Different Property Prices
See how the tax changes as you change your budget.
Avoid Surprises at Closing
Buyers often plan for down payments and mortgages but forget this essential cost.
Understand First-Time Buyer Rebates
Ontario offers generous rebates for eligible first-time buyers, and our calculator factors this in.
Whether you’re planning to buy a condo, townhouse, detached home, or investment property, knowing your LTT upfront helps you make informed decisions.
How Land Transfer Tax Is Calculated in Ontario
Land Transfer Tax in Ontario is calculated on a sliding scale, with different tax brackets applied to portions of the purchase price.
Below are the current Ontario LTT rates:
- 0.5% on the first $55,000
- 1.0% on the portion between $55,000 and $250,000
- 1.5% on the portion between $250,000 and $400,000
- 2.0% on the portion between $400,000 and $2,000,000
- 2.5% on the portion exceeding $2,000,000
Example (Mississauga Property):
If you buy a home for $900,000, your LTT will be calculated in portions using the above tax brackets.
Our calculator does the math instantly saving you time and ensuring accuracy.
First-Time Homebuyer Land Transfer Tax Rebate
Ontario offers a rebate of up to $4,000 for eligible first-time buyers. To qualify, you must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Never have owned a home anywhere in the world
- Live in the property as your principal residence within 9 months of purchase
- Not have a spouse or partner who has owned a home while you were together
Our calculator automatically includes the rebate if you select “First-Time Homebuyer.”
