TORONTO

The city expects to have an almost $65-million surplus by the end of 2015 thanks mostly to Toronto's land transfer tax continuing to break budget estimates.

A report going to the city's budget committee next week gives councillors a glimpse of the city's finances in the first six months of the year.

Here's a rundown of the numbers:

In the first six months of 2015:

$97.29 million: The surplus so far in the first six months of 2015

$5.45 million: Higher than budgeted revenue from parking tag enforcement in first six months of the year.

$45.97 million: Higher than budgeted revenue from Municipal Land Transfer Tax

Higher than budgeted revenue from Municipal Land Transfer Tax $15.6 million: Higher than budgeted revenue from the city's interest and investment income.

* By the end of 2015: $64.9 million: Projected 2015 budget surplus by the end of the year.

-- $440 million: Estimated land transfer tax revenue by the end of 2015 ($55 million higher than revenue prediction in 2015 budget)

-- $93.1 million: Estimated parking tag revenue by the end of 2015 ($2.15 million lower than budgeted due to greater compliance following rush hour parking crackdown and increases in payments from out-of-province violators)
