Equalization Payment
Enter asset and debt values above to calculate the equalization payment.
Calculated under Ontario Family Law Act s.5(1): the spouse with the higher NFP pays the other half the difference. NFP cannot be less than zero (s.4(5)). Courts may depart from equalization in unconscionable circumstances (s.5(6)). Matrimonial home cannot be excluded even if received by gift or inheritance (s.4(2)). Pension values may require actuarial valuation. This is an estimate only — not legal advice.
