Convert each weight to the unit the rates are published in. Québec publishes in Canadian dollars per tonne.\n3. Multiply each weight by the rate of its category. A category whose rate is not yet published returns not yet published, never a number.\n4. Add the other charges the schedule lists, if you choose to include them, and where the schedule sets a minimum, apply it or tell you that your total is below it.\n5. Add the lines to a total in CAD.

A weight in kilograms is divided by 1,000 before it is multiplied.\n- A flat fee tier exists for small volumes. It replaces the weight-based total only when you elect it.\n- More than one schedule is on record. Check that the fee year matches the period you are reporting.\n- Some parts of the schedule are not yet published. They appear below as not yet published."

Other charges and any minimum are added only if the schedule lists them and you include them.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-units\"></a>Which units can I enter?\n\nKilograms, tonnes, pounds and short tons, or a count of units where the rate is per unit. The calculator converts them before it multiplies.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-other\"></a>Does the estimate include other charges?\n\nThe schedule on record lists no charges beyond the weight-based rates.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-current\"></a>How current are these rates?\n\nThey are the rates for the 2026 fee year, as published by the source and last reviewed on November 4, 2026. A rate that has changed since is not reflected until the source is reviewed again.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-own-rate\"></a>What if my organisation gave me a different rate?\n\nWhere a place publishes a rate table, the calculator uses the published rate. Where no table exists, you enter the rate your organisation gave you for each material, and the calculator labels the line as your rate, not a published one.\n\n### <a id=\"faq-file\"></a>Will Instica file or pay for me in Québec?\n\nNo. Instica measures, estimates and prepares your figures and files. You register, sign and submit each filing and pay yourself, and Instica never stores portal credentials. This page is information, not legal advice."
