Court Fine Total Calculator

Ontario's victim fine surcharge is 25% of the base fine for provincial offences, added automatically at sentencing. For example, a $100 base fine results in a $125 total payment. The surcharge funds services for victims of crime and cannot be waived except in cases of undue hardship.

If you contest a ticket and are found guilty, most provinces add court costs of $50–$100. If you request a trial through the court option on your ticket (rather than pleading guilty), there is typically no additional filing fee for the defendant. If you are acquitted, no fine or surcharge is payable.

Yes. Courts can reduce fines on a plea of guilty with submissions, particularly for financial hardship. In Ontario, the New Drivers program and first-time offenders often receive reduced fines. Courts can also extend payment time or order community service in lieu of payment.
