Instruments current as cited

What does that ticket actually cost?

Ontario and Québec price traffic offences through different machinery. Pick the province that issued your notice and read the amount with the instrument it comes from.

Two provinces

Which province issued the ticket?

Nothing here is guessed from your language. Ontario and Québec price traffic offences through different instruments, so the province decides which rules you are reading — and a francophone driver in Ottawa is an Ontario driver.

An offence notice, a set fine item number, and an administrative schedule published outside the Act. Demerit points run on their own regulation and their own clock.

Figures

Three numbers

Read off the payload, one per province plus the clock they do not share. Nothing here is an average.

How it works

How to read your own notice

  1. Find the provinceAn Ontario offence notice prints a set-fine item number; a Québec constat d’infraction prints the article of the CSR. They are different documents and they are priced by different instruments.
  2. Find the instrumentOntario set fines come from a consolidation published by the Office of the Chief Justice, not from the statute. Québec amounts come from the article itself, usually as a formula or a range.
  3. Add what comes with itNeither province’s total is one number. Ontario adds a victim fine surcharge and costs; Québec adds frais and a contribution. Each term has its own instrument.

Overview

Got a ticket? Start with which province issued it.

Everything on this site branches there first, because the two provinces share no fine formula, no points ladder and no clock.

Calculator

The speeding calculator

Ontario’s two independent price ladders and Québec’s base-plus-tranche formula, each driven by the instrument that states it. Both are drawn below at a worked excess read off the payload’s own band boundaries.

Ontario prices speeding twice

A set fine you can settle out of court, and a statutory fine a court imposes on conviction. They share band boundaries and share no rates — and at the top of the ladder only one of them exists.

Québec prices speeding by complete tranches

A base amount plus a rate applied to every complete tranche of the total excess, where the rate is chosen by the band the total excess lands in. It is a band lookup, not a marginal bracket calculation.

QUÉBEC1–20
$30.00 + $10.00 × 2 = $50.00

Counted — complete tranches

2 × 5 km/h

Not counted — the remainder

+ 1 km/h

11 km/h = 2 × 5 km/h + 1 km/h

The whole excess is priced at the band’s rate. The band is chosen by the TOTAL excess and then applies to every complete tranche of it — this is a band lookup, not a marginal bracket calculation, and reading it the other way produces a smaller wrong number for every excess that crosses a boundary. The remainder below one whole tranche is not counted.

Findings

What the law does NOT say

These are findings, not gaps. Where an instrument states an absence, this site prints the absence — never a blank, a dash or a zero.

ONTARIOFINDING

No out-of-court settlement is available

Where a rate would go, the schedule prints an absence. There is no amount to settle for: the offence is answered in court under the statutory fine, which is a different instrument and a different ladder.
ONTARIOINFERENCE

N.S.F. is an inference on this site, never a definition

The set fine schedule prints the short form and never expands it. One place in the same document spells out “No Set Fine” in the same role — Schedule A — and that analogue is the whole of the evidence. No document read for this site defines the abbreviation directly, so this site states the expansion as a supported reading and labels it an inference wherever it is used.
QUÉBECINFERENCE

“Grand excès de vitesse” is not the Code’s own phrase

The Code de la sécurité routière never uses the expression. It states a threshold and a multiplier in an article, and the phrase everybody searches for was attached to that article afterwards, by the market. This site uses the market’s words where a reader needs to find the page, and the article’s own words where a rule is being described — and says which is which.
QUÉBECFINDING

Québec states no dollar figure for dangerous driving

What the Code does for that behaviour is cross-refer to the Criminal Code and attach a licence revocation to a conviction under it. It states no fine range of its own, so this site prices nothing here. The nearest amounts in the Code price something else entirely — DRIVING while under that revocation — and quoting one of them as the price of dangerous driving would be a different offence’s number.

FAQ

Questions

Scope

What this site covers

  • Covered

    Ontario and Québec only. Those are the two jurisdictions whose instruments have been read for this site, and every figure here belongs to one of them.

  • Unmeasured here

    Eleven further provinces and territories are UNMEASURED here — that means they have not been read for this site, not that they are absent from Canada’s fine landscape. Nothing on this site is a national claim.

  • Out of scope

    Municipal by-law offences — parking above all — are priced by roughly four hundred municipalities and are out of scope. This site prices provincial offences.
