Ontario Small Claims Court Filing Fee Calculator — Kleiman Law

Filing Fee Calculator

Two quick questions — pick who you are and what you're filing, and the exact fees add themselves up.

Step One of Three

Are you an infrequent or frequent claimant?

Three fees change with your answer — the claim, default judgment, and trial-date fees. Everything else is flat.

? A frequent claimant has already filed 10 or more claims in the same Small Claims Court office in the same calendar year (O. Reg. 332/16). The count resets every January 1 and is tracked per court office. 10 or more claims already filed this calendar year in the same court office — collection agencies, large landlords, businesses that sue often.
"Frequent" means 10 or more claims already filed in the same calendar year in the same court office. If you're not sure, you're almost certainly infrequent — but the result flags how the fees change if you're not.
Step Two of Three

What are you filing?

Select every step you want to price — fees charge per document, so a whole case is the sum of its steps.

Does either of these apply?

Most people tick nothing here. Anything you tick adds a note to the result.
