# Québec EPR fee calculator

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/quebec/fee-calculator

<a id="answer"></a>

Québec publishes 21 category rates for packaging in the 2026 fee year, stated in Canadian dollars per tonne, and this calculator turns your weights into an estimate of the fee. For example, Newsprint inserts and circulars is priced at 490.32 CAD/tonne. A flat fee can replace the weight-based total for small volumes.

<a id="tool"></a>

## Estimate your fee

Choose the period you are reporting and the calculator picks the schedule in force, then multiplies the weight of each material you add by the published rate. It runs in your browser and stores nothing. Without JavaScript the example further down shows the same arithmetic.

Interactive tool: Fee calculator (works on the web page)

The Instica free plan covers the threshold check, exemption tracking, the deadline calendar, packaging templates and fee sources, so you can start without paying. [See what the free plan includes](https://app.instica.com/epr/free-plan)

<a id="how"></a>

## How the estimate is calculated

The calculator follows the same steps for every place, and it shows each step so you can check it against the schedule.

1. Pick the schedule in force for the period you are reporting. Where a schedule is charged on an earlier supply year, the calculator uses the schedule whose data period contains your period.
2. Convert each weight to the unit the rates are published in. Québec publishes in Canadian dollars per tonne.
3. Multiply each weight by the rate of its category. A category whose rate is not yet published returns not yet published, never a number.
4. 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.
5. Add the lines to a total in CAD. If you ask for another currency, the calculator converts with a named published rate and says so.

## What to have ready

You get the most useful estimate with these figures to hand. This page stores none of them.

- The weight of packaging you place on the market, by material and category.
- The period you are reporting, so the right schedule is chosen.
- In the few places that publish no rate table, the rate your producer responsibility organisation gave you, which you enter yourself.
- Whether you want other charges and any minimum included in the total.
- The currency you report in, if it is not CAD.

## Rates for 2026 in Québec

The table lists every category the schedule prices, with the rate as published and the unit it is published in. Category names appear as the schedule prints them, in the language of the source.

## Fee years and data periods

Québec has 2 schedules on record. The calculator picks the one in force for your period; the table shows how they differ.

<a id="years-table"></a>**Québec fee schedules on record**

| Fee year | Applies from | Applies until | Priced categories |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | [January 1, 2026](#sched-ca-qc-2026) | [December 31, 2026](#sched-until-ca-qc-2026) | 21 |
| 2027 | [January 1, 2027](#sched-ca-qc-2027) | [December 31, 2027](#sched-until-ca-qc-2027) | 21 |

<a id="spread"></a>

## Spread of the published rates

Rates in Québec differ widely between materials. Converted to one unit, the table above runs from the lowest to the highest rate as follows.

[The lowest published rate in fee year 2026 is CA$0.4446 per kilogram, for Aluminum.](#spread-lo-ca-qc-2026)

[The highest published rate in fee year 2026 is CA$3.3914 per kilogram, for Polystyrenes, PVC, PLA and other degradable plastics and synthetic-fibre reusable bags.](#spread-hi-ca-qc-2026)

<a id="tiers"></a>

## Flat fees for small volumes

For small volumes the schedule sets a flat fee that can replace the weight-based total. The calculator shows both so you can compare, and it applies a tier only when you choose it.

<a id="tiers-table"></a>**Québec flat fee tiers, fee year 2026**

| Who it covers, as published | Supplied weight | Flat fee |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A producer that puts between 1 and 15 tonnes of containers, packaging and printed matter on the Québec market may pay a flat fee for its band instead of the per-tonne rates. | 1 tonne to 2.5 tonne | [CA$1,430](#tier-ca-qc-2026-qc-flat-1) |
| A producer that puts between 1 and 15 tonnes of containers, packaging and printed matter on the Québec market may pay a flat fee for its band instead of the per-tonne rates. | 2.5 tonne to 5 tonne | [CA$3,070](#tier-ca-qc-2026-qc-flat-2) |
| A producer that puts between 1 and 15 tonnes of containers, packaging and printed matter on the Québec market may pay a flat fee for its band instead of the per-tonne rates. | 5 tonne to 10 tonne | [CA$6,150](#tier-ca-qc-2026-qc-flat-3) |
| A producer that puts between 1 and 15 tonnes of containers, packaging and printed matter on the Québec market may pay a flat fee for its band instead of the per-tonne rates. | 10 tonne to 15 tonne | [CA$10,240](#tier-ca-qc-2026-qc-flat-4) |

## Modulation of fees

How fees are modulated for design or recyclability is not yet published for Québec, so the calculator applies the base rates and says so.

> **Not yet published**: how fees are modulated: not yet published. Reason: Malus and bonus figures were summarised from the ecomodulation page; exact wording not re-quoted.

<a id="example"></a>

## Worked example for Québec

A producer supplies 1,000 kg of each category below in 2026. The weights are an illustration, not a typical pack, and the arithmetic is the same the calculator performs with your own figures.

<a id="example-table"></a>**Worked example, Québec, fee year 2026**

| Category as published | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Aluminum | 1,000 kg | [444.57 CAD/tonne](#rate-ca-qc-2026-qc-aluminum) | CA$444.57 |
| Catalogues, publications, magazines, telephone books, paper for general use and other printed paper | 1,000 kg | [737.12 CAD/tonne](#rate-ca-qc-2026-qc-catalogues-publications-magazines-telephone-books-paper-for-general-use-and-other-printed-paper) | CA$737.12 |
| Clear glass | 1,000 kg | [559.78 CAD/tonne](#rate-ca-qc-2026-qc-clear-glass) | CA$559.78 |
| Plastic laminants | 1,000 kg | [1,798.11 CAD/tonne](#rate-ca-qc-2026-qc-plastic-laminants) | CA$1,798.11 |
| Total |  |  | [CA$3,539.58](#example-ca-qc-2026) |

The total of the 4 lines is CA$3,539.58. Other charges and any minimum are not included.

Each line is the quantity in the rate unit multiplied by the rate, rounded to the nearest cent. The total is the sum of the lines.

The same 4 lines scale with the quantity. At the smaller quantity the total is CA$353.96, at the worked quantity CA$3,539.58 and at the larger quantity CA$35,395.80; your own figures fall between or beyond these.

<a id="example-scale"></a>**The same categories at three quantities, fee year 2026**

| Category as published | 100 kg | 1,000 kg | 10,000 kg |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Catalogues, publications, magazines, telephone books, paper for general use and other printed paper | CA$73.71 | CA$737.12 | CA$7,371.20 |
| Plastic laminants | CA$179.81 | CA$1,798.11 | CA$17,981.10 |
| Clear glass | CA$55.98 | CA$559.78 | CA$5,597.80 |
| Aluminum | CA$44.46 | CA$444.57 | CA$4,445.70 |
| Total | CA$353.96 | CA$3,539.58 | CA$35,395.80 |

## What to watch for in Québec

These points come from the schedule on record, so they differ from place to place.

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

<a id="units"></a>

## Units the calculator converts

The calculator converts every weight to grams first and then to the unit of the rate, so a mix of units gives the same result as one unit.

- One kilogram is 1,000 grams.
- One tonne is 1,000 kilograms.
- One pound is 453.59 grams.
- One short ton is 2,000 pounds, or 907.18 kilograms.

## Frequently asked questions

### <a id="faq-how"></a>How is the Québec packaging EPR fee calculated?

Each weight is converted to Canadian dollars per tonne and multiplied by the rate of its category, then the lines are added. Other charges and any minimum are added only if the schedule lists them and you include them.

### <a id="faq-units"></a>Which units can I enter?

Kilograms, tonnes, pounds and short tons, or a count of units where the rate is per unit. The calculator converts them before it multiplies.

### <a id="faq-other"></a>Does the estimate include other charges?

The schedule on record lists no charges beyond the weight-based rates.

### <a id="faq-current"></a>How current are these rates?

They 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.

### <a id="faq-own-rate"></a>What if my organisation gave me a different rate?

Where 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.

### <a id="faq-file"></a>Will Instica file or pay for me in Québec?

No. 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.

<a id="estimate"></a>

## How to read these figures
