**Website maintenance in Canada generally costs about C$50–C$500 per month for a small-business website.** A practical budget is **C$100–C$300/month** for updates, backups, security monitoring and some support. These are budgeting ranges, rather than a fixed national rate. ([Canadian pricing guide](https://owlsdigital.com/website-maintenance-cost-canada/))

| Level of service | Approximate monthly cost (CAD) |
|---|---:|
| Basic upkeep: software updates, security checks and monitoring | C$40–C$100 |
| Managed business site: backups, troubleshooting and some content edits | C$100–C$300 |
| More hands-on support, frequent edits or faster response | C$300–C$550+ |
| E-commerce or custom website | C$200–C$1,000+ |

Also check taxes and contract terms: an advertised monthly price may require an annual commitment. ([internetWorld plan details](https://internetworld.ca/services/website-maintenance/))
