How Rent Interest Works in Ontario

In Ontario, rental income is subject to interest at a rate of 10% per year. This interest is calculated on the rental income earned during the month and is paid to the landlord.

The interest is calculated using the following formula:

Rent Interest Formula

Rent Interest = (Monthly Rental Income × Interest Rate) / 12

Where:

Monthly Rental Income is the amount you earn from renting out your property
Interest Rate is the applicable interest rate (10% for Ontario)

The result is divided by 12 to convert the annual interest rate to a monthly figure.

Worked Example

Let's say you have a rental property in Ontario that earned $2,500 in monthly rental income. The interest rate is 10%.

Using the formula:

Example Calculation

Rent Interest = ($2,500 × 10%) / 12

Rent Interest = $250 / 12

Rent Interest = $20.83

So, your rent interest for the month would be $20.83.
