Attachment with Example Calculation for a Municipality with 15,000 People
April 4, 2023Page 3081 section
A technical attachment illustrating how the provincial grant amounts were calculated based on base funding, adjusted population, and population growth.
Base Funding: $500,000Adjusted Population rate: $365 per personPopulation Growth rate: $1,000 per capita growth (2016-2021)
Attachment with Example Calculation for a Municipality with 15,000 People
| Population Range | From | To | Adjustment Factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Very Small | 0 | 2,000 | 100% |
| 2. Small | 2,001 | 5,000 | 80% |
| 3. Small-Med | 5,001 | 10,000 | 60% |
| 4. Medium | 10,001 | 20,000 | 40% |
| 5. Large-Med | 20,001 | 40,000 | 20% |
| 6. Large | 40,001 | 150,000 | 10% |
| 7. Very Large | 150,001 | 900,000 | 5% |
To illustrate, for a city of 15,000 people, the adjusted population is:
- For this first 2,000 residents, adjustment of 100% = 2,000 x 100% = 2,000
- For the next 3,000 (up to 5,000), adjustment of 80% = 3,000 x 80% = 2,400
- For the next 5,000 (up to 10,000), adjustment of 60% = 5,000 x 60% = 3,000
- For the last 5,000 (up to 15,000), adjustment of 40% = 5,000 x 40% = 2,000
Thus, the city of 15,000 people has an adjusted population of 9,400 (=2,000 + 2,400 + 3,000 + 2,000).
If the city grew by 4,500 people between 2016-2021, the total grant amount is calculated as follows:
| Component | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Flat Funding | $500,000 | $500,000 |
| Adjusted Population | = 9,400 x $365 | $3,431,000 |
| Population Growth | = 4,500 x $1,000 | $4,500,000 |
| Total Grant | $8,431,000 |
