The available budget figures add up to C$4,376 a month across 7 categories. The subtotal uses published references, which can come from earlier periods and wider areas.
Missing from the published budget: Internet and mobile.
Enter monthly amounts in CAD or use the sliders. Leave unknown costs blank and enter zero if you have no expense.
These are separate source measures, not a complete local cost basket. Only references labelled Local match this page’s exact area; every other reference keeps its published area and scope.
Monthly equivalents help compare units. Keep each original amount, data period and area in view.
Household survey averages include households that spend nothing on a category. Some rows cover only one item. The editable subtotal above uses available budget lines; these tables also show other figures for context.
