University of Toronto total cost
A Canadian degree price starts with the student category. This page separates local and international tuition and compulsory fees in Canadian dollars, then adds the published residence and meal plan basis for 2025-2026.
All figures on this page are in Canadian dollars (CAD).
Domestic and international prices are shown on separate lines. Do not compare a CAD total on this page with a USD total on a United States school page without converting currencies first.
The price at University of Toronto, by student category
Toronto is the clearest Ontario split in this tranche: the Arts & Science program fee is CA$6,100 for an Ontario resident and CA$63,570 for an international student in 2025-2026, before college incidental fees. Residence is a college-by-college range including meal plans, running from CA$14,965 at the low end to CA$24,538 at the high end in the published 2026-2027 comparison, so the downtown Toronto housing choice is a five-figure decision on top of either tuition line.

Tuition and compulsory fees
Program basis: Faculty of Arts & Science (St. George), full-time Program Fee for the Fall-Winter session. Incidental fees vary by college; the schedules used are named in each category..

First-year planning total by category
Each total below adds the category tuition and fees to the published residence and meal plan figure. No books and supplies figure is added, because the school does not publish one on the pages we checked; add your own course costs before treating the total as complete. When residence is published as a range, the total is shown as the same range.

Scholarships and aid
No published average aid figure: U of T publishes named awards and program funding pages, not a reliable average grant per student on the pages checked.
| Published award | Eligibility | Amount (CAD) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| President's Scholars of Excellence ProgramAutomatic consideration for the most outstanding secondary school students; the program page states domestic and international applicants are both eligible. | Domestic and international | CA$15,000 (first year) | University of Toronto, President's Scholars of Excellence ProgramVerified 2026-10-05 |
Only a written offer from University of Toronto confirms an award for a specific student. An entrance award headline does not reduce the planning total until its amount, eligibility, and renewal rule are in that offer.
City context
No city unemployment or rent figure is published on this page yet. Canada has no single federal file that matches the United States school data groups field for field, so this page does not borrow a figure from a rental listing site or a national average and present it as local fact. Budget off-campus rent from current listings near Toronto and confirm the lease term before comparing it with residence.
A worksheet before borrowing
- Choose the student category first. At University of Toronto, the local tuition and fees line is CA$8,745 CAD and the international line is CA$66,375 CAD for 2025-2026; the category decision is worth CA$57,631 CAD per year before housing.
- Add the residence and meal plan figure that matches the room you would actually accept, not only the lowest published room.
- Subtract only awards named in a written offer. Published entrance awards above are possibilities to investigate, not deductions.
- Price four years by repeating the first-year planning total, then test a yearly increase as your own scenario. The university has not forecast your later-year fees on this page.
- Keep the currency pinned: every figure in the worksheet for this school is CAD.
Before you treat this as your price
- Confirm the academic year and the program. Professional and deregulated programs can carry different fees.
- Confirm residency status with the university. Citizenship, permanent residence, and provincial residence are separate questions.
- Check the housing tier and meal plan behind the residence figure.
- Use only a written aid offer as a confirmed scholarship amount.
Record notes
- Incidental fees vary by college at U of T; each category below names the college schedule used, so compare the tuition line for residency and treat the incidental line as college-dependent.
- Residence figures are the published 2026-2027 ranges including meal plans; tuition below is 2025-2026, so the combined first-year figure is a planning range across the two published years, labelled as such.
Common questions
How much does University of Toronto cost in Canadian dollars?
For 2025-2026, the local tuition and fees line is CA$8,745 CAD and the international line is CA$66,375 CAD on the program basis named on this page. Residence and meal plan costs are shown separately because the billed amount depends on room and plan.
Who counts as a domestic or local student?
Domestic student (Ontario resident): Domestic Ontario Resident: Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Ontario, per the schedule title. The university decides the category from citizenship, permanent residence, and provincial residence documents. Confirm your category before using a total.
Can I compare this page with a United States school page directly?
Not without a currency step. This page is in Canadian dollars (CAD). United States pages are in US dollars (USD). Convert with a dated exchange rate or compare the structure of the budgets first: tuition category, residence, books, and time to degree.
Are scholarships subtracted from these totals?
No. This page lists awards the university itself publishes and names their eligibility, but only a written offer from University of Toronto confirms an amount for a specific student.
