2025 Ontario Health Premium Calculation

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

The Ontario Health Premium is a mandatory contribution to the provincial health insurance plan. For 2025, the premium amount is determined based on your income and family size. This calculator helps you estimate your 2025 Ontario Health Premium based on your personal information.

How the 2025 Ontario Health Premium is Calculated

The Ontario Health Premium is calculated using a tiered system based on your household income. The 2025 rates are as follows:

  • For households with income between $0 and $46,605: $0 premium
  • For households with income between $46,606 and $93,209: $100 premium
  • For households with income between $93,210 and $156,417: $200 premium
  • For households with income between $156,418 and $233,022: $300 premium
  • For households with income above $233,022: $400 premium

The premium amount is then divided by the number of people in your household to determine each individual's contribution.

Ontario Health Premium = (Tiered Premium Amount) / (Number of Household Members)

For example, a household with $100,000 income and 4 members would pay $25 per person ($100 total premium divided by 4).

Factors Affecting Your 2025 Ontario Health Premium

Several factors determine your 2025 Ontario Health Premium:

  • Household Income: The primary factor is your total household income, which determines the tiered premium amount.
  • Family Size: The premium is divided by the number of household members.
  • Residency: Only Ontario residents are eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).
  • Citizenship or Permanent Residency: You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to qualify.

Note: The Ontario Health Premium is separate from the basic OHIP premium, which is based on age and income. The 2025 OHIP premium rates are different from the health premium discussed here.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the 2025 Ontario Health Premium for a household with the following details:

  • Household Income: $120,000
  • Number of Household Members: 3

Step 1: Determine the tiered premium amount based on income.

$120,000 falls in the $93,210-$156,417 range, so the tiered premium is $200.

Step 2: Divide the tiered premium by the number of household members.

$200 / 3 = $66.67 per person.

Therefore, each household member would pay approximately $66.67 for the 2025 Ontario Health Premium.
