Formula Used

The subsidy amount is calculated using the following formula:

Subsidy Amount = Project Cost × Subsidy Rate × Eligibility Factor

Where:

Project Cost - The total cost of your project
Subsidy Rate - The percentage of the project cost covered by the subsidy
Eligibility Factor - A multiplier based on your project's eligibility (1.0 for fully eligible, 0.5 for partially eligible)

The calculator uses current Ontario government subsidy rates and eligibility criteria to determine the subsidy amount.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Fully Eligible Project

For a project with a cost of $100,000, a subsidy rate of 20%, and full eligibility:

Subsidy Amount = $100,000 × 0.20 × 1.0 = $20,000

This means the government will cover $20,000 of the $100,000 project cost.

Example 2: Partially Eligible Project

For a project with a cost of $50,000, a subsidy rate of 15%, and partial eligibility:

Subsidy Amount = $50,000 × 0.15 × 0.5 = $3,750

This means the government will cover $3,750 of the $50,000 project cost.
