Estimate for general information and demonstration only — not legal, financial, or accounting advice. Calculations apply the BC Strata Property Act and its Regulation as of 2026-05-30 using the standard statutory rules and the figures you enter. They do NOT account for separate sections, limited-common-property or type formulas, or a different allocation formula filed under s.100. Confirm against the Act, your strata's registered bylaws and Schedule of Unit Entitlement, the actual resolution wording, and a licensed strata professional before acting. Full disclaimer & sources

Questions

Common questions

How are BC strata fees calculated?

Each lot pays its proportion of the total budget, where the proportion is the lot's unit entitlement divided by the strata's total unit entitlement (s.99, Regulation 6.4).

Why does my neighbour pay a different fee?

Because fees follow unit entitlement, not square footage or market value. A lot with higher entitlement pays more, even if the homes look similar.

Does this include the reserve fund?

Yes. The budget you enter should include both the operating-fund contribution and the contingency reserve fund contribution; the result shows the reserve portion separately.
