Royal
Finances
The cost of the Monarchy in Canada has been
estimated at about $1.25 per person per year.
This includes the costs of royal engagements and
tours in Canada and the salaries and operating
expenses of the Governor-General and the
Lieutenant-Governors and their households. It
was estimated in 1993 that the cost of the
American Presidency was $1 billion USD per year,
or $5 CAD per person, with the cost of state
governors additional.

Personal expenses of the Royal Family are paid for from
the private income of the Royal Family, and public
expenses of the Monarchy in the United Kingdom or other
realms of the Queen are paid for by the respective
countries. Members of the Royal Family are paid no
salary or honorarium by the Canadian or any Commonwealth
government for carrying out their duties and fulfilling
their inherited vocation, unlike many other Heads of
State.
