A $1500 payday loan Canada is the maximum amount a payday lender can advance under Canadian rules. Get Payday Loans Canada matches you with licensed lenders in your province. Because it’s the highest amount and is due on your next payday, lenders look closely at your income — and it’s the most important amount to borrow carefully.
Borrow with care. $1,500 is the legal maximum and the most expensive payday loan to repay in one payday. If a full repayment would leave you short, consider a smaller amount like $500 or a lower-cost option. We are a matching service, not a lender.
What a $1500 Payday Loan Costs in Canada
Costs are capped by federal law at $14 per $100 borrowed — the same in every province since January 1, 2025. A typical 14-day $1500 payday loan:
| Maximum cost (per $100) | Cost of a $1,500 loan | Total to repay |
|---|---|---|
| $14 — federal cap, every province (since Jan 1, 2025) | $210 | $1,710 |
The $14 cap is federal law (since January 1, 2025) – confirm details with your province’s current maximum with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada before you borrow.
At $14 per $100 for 14 days, a $1,500 loan has an APR of about 365%. Calculate your exact cost:
