2026 Northern Ontario energy credit (NOEC) calculation sheets
Your NOEC entitlement is calculated on a monthly basis. However, for all the monthly payments from July 2026 to June 2027, you must use your marital status on December 31, 2025.
- If your marital status was married or living common-law on December 31, 2025, use the calculation sheet for married or common law individuals.
- If your marital status was single, separated, divorced or widowed on December 31, 2025 use the calculation sheet for single individuals that agrees with your family situation for children at the beginning of the month.
However, if your family situation for children changes during the benefit year, you may have to use more than one sheet to calculate your entitlement. If this applies, to get your annual entitlement you would add together your monthly entitlement for each sheet times the number of months each situation applied.

Note:
As indicated above, the NOEC is calculated on a monthly basis.
