2022 Ontario energy and property tax credit (OEPTC) - Calculation sheet for single seniors who share the care of all their children

Download a calculation sheet in pdf format.

Use this calculation if you were 64 years of age or older and single on December 31, 2021, and you share the care of all your children who are under the age of 18 on the first day of the payment month.

You may have to use a different calculation sheet for a particular month if the care of any of your children changes.

Step 1 - Occupancy cost

  1. Multiply your rent paid in Ontario for 2021 by 20%.
  2. Add your property tax paid in Ontario for 2021.
  3. Add $25.00 if you lived in a student residence.

This is your occupancy cost.

Step 2 - Energy component

  1. Multiply the amount paid for a public or non-profit long-term care home in Ontario for 2021 by 20%.
  2. Add the amount paid for home energy costs on a reserve in Ontario for 2021.
  3. Add the result of Step 1.
  4. Subtract $25.00 if you lived in a student residence.

Your energy component is D or $249.00, whichever is less.

Step 3 - Property tax component

  1. Multiply the result of Step 1 by 10%.
  2. Use A or $499.00, whichever is less.
  3. Add $529.00 to B.

Your property tax component is C or the result of Step 1, whichever is less.

Step 4 - Energy and property tax credit

  1. Add the result of Step 2 and Step 3.
  2. Subtract $31,144.00 from your adjusted family net income for 2021 (if negative, the result is zero).
  3. Multiply B by 2%.
  4. Subtract C from A.
  5. Divide D by 2.
  6. Subtract $37,373.00 from your adjusted family net income for 2021 (if negative, the result is zero).
  7. Multiply F by 2%.
  8. Subtract G from A.
  9. Divide H by 2.
  10. Add E and I.

This is your annual energy and property tax credit, unless Step 5 applies.

Step 5 - Annual Ontario energy and property tax credit

If you will receive or have received a 2022 Ontario senior homeowners' property tax grant (OSHPTG), complete this Step. Otherwise, divide the result of Step 4 by 12 to calculate your monthly OEPTC entitlement.

  1. Add the amount of your 2022 OSHPTG to Step 4.
  2. Subtract the result of Step 2 from A (if negative, the result is zero).
  3. Subtract the result of Step 1 from B (if negative, the result is zero)
  4. Subtract C from the result of Step 4.
  5. Divide D by 12.

D is your annual OEPTC entitlement.

E is your monthly OEPTC entitlement.

If your annual OEPTC amount plus, if applicable, your annual Ontario sales tax credit and Northern Ontario energy credit is:

The first monthly 2022 Ontario trillium benefit payment, which includes any OEPTC entitlement, will be issued on July 8, 2022.

However, if you made a choice on your 2021 return to wait to receive your 2022 OTB entitlement, it will be issued on June 9, 2023.
