Inflation

Impact of inflation on the Ontario sunshine list

Since 1996, the $100,000 threshold has not changed. The effect of increasing this threshold is dramatic:

Canadian consumer price index (CPI) has increased by 54.11% from 1996 to 2020 >> source
In 2020, there were 205,470 individuals on the sunshine list
If the threshold were to follow the CPI, the size of the 2020 list would have been reduced by 87%, to 26,245 people.
Put differently, in terms of the purchasing power of a Canadian Dollar buying Canadian goods and services, a $100,000 threshold in 2020 is equivalent to $64,889 in 1996.
