Tuition Adjustment Program 2012/13

Tuition per family is the smaller of the number in the following table and 12% of net income (Canada Revenue Notice of Assessment, Line 236, household total or accepted 3rd Party documenation).

Total Tuition # Children in Half-day Kin
0 1 2
# Children in Full-day Kin or Grades 1-8 0   $3,300.00 $4,950.00
1 $5,875.00 $7,525.00 $8,614.00
2 $8,812.50 $9,901.50 $10,726.50
3 $10,751.25 $11,576.25  
4 $12,220.00    
 

Example: Family with 1 child in Class 5, 1 child in Class 2, and 1 child in Half-day Kindergarten. Total tuition from table above is $9,901.50, calculated as follows:
1st child (5): 100% x $5,875.00 = $5,875.00
2nd child (2): 50% x $5,875.00 = $2,937.50
3rd child (K): 33% x $3,300.00 = $1,089.00
Total: $9,901.50.

But if, say, the net income on line 236 of the Notice of Assessment for one adult in this family is $21,000 and for their partner it is $9,000, then the total tuition will only be $30,000 multiplied by 12%, which comes to $3,600.

Foreign student fee
