2021 Ontario energy and property tax credit (OEPTC) calculation sheets

Your OEPTC entitlement is calculated on a monthly basis. However, for all the monthly payments from July 2021 to June 2022, you must use your marital status on December 31, 2020.

• If your marital status was married or living common-law on December 31, 2020, use the calculation sheet for married or common law individuals or seniors.
• If your marital status was single, separated, divorced or widowed on December 31, 2020, use the calculation sheet for single individuals or seniors that agrees with your family situation for children at the beginning of the month.
  
  However, if your family situation for children changes during the benefit year, you may have to use more than one sheet to calculate your entitlement. If this applies, to get your annual entitlement you would add together your monthly entitlement for each sheet times the number of months each situation applied.
