What a payday loan costs in Ontario

The fee is capped at $14 per $100 borrowed: $70 on a $500 loan over two weeks, repaid in one payment on your next payday. A payday loan in Ontario carries a two business day cooling-off period at no cost. Almost nobody knows it exists, and it is the cheapest exit from a loan you regret.

Ontario has no separate high-cost credit licensing band; the federal 35% cap does the work. The regulator is Consumer Protection Ontario.

Before a payday loan

  • Low-income energy assistance for electricity and gas arrears. A grant, not a loan
  • Utility payment arrangements before disconnection
  • An employer payroll advance
  • A 0% advance under $750

A payday loan fits a genuine one-off gap with a repayment your next pay can absorb. If the gap repeats every month, the product that fits is not a payday loan.

Common questions

How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Ontario?

$42 in fees, the $14 per $100 maximum. You repay $342 in total on your next payday. Every licensed Ontario lender charges at this cap, so comparing on price is pointless; compare on funding speed and repayment flexibility instead.

What is Ontario's extended payment plan for payday loans?

If you take three loans from the same lender within 63 days, the lender must offer you an extended payment plan: your balance splits into equal instalments across multiple pay periods, you can prepay without penalty, and you can exit the plan at any time. It is the province's built-in exit ramp from repeat borrowing, and lenders cannot refuse it.

What is the maximum payday loan amount in Ontario?

The lesser of $1,500 or 50% of your net pay for the period. A lender who sees $1,800 in net pay on your statement can advance at most $900, which is why two applicants with the same request can be approved for different amounts.
