Rates and programs change often. We will connect you with a trusted mortgage professional and build a plan that fits your budget and goals.
Estimates only, not a mortgage quote or pre-approval. Figures use Canadian semi-annual compounding, current minimum down-payment rules, CMHC premium tiers, and Ontario (plus Toronto, when selected) land transfer tax. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and closing costs vary by lender and property. Confirm every number with your mortgage professional.

How the numbers work
How is my mortgage payment calculated?
Canadian fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually, not monthly, so this calculator converts your annual rate to a true periodic rate before working out the payment. That matches what your lender will quote. Change the down payment, rate, amortization, or payment frequency and every figure updates instantly.
What is CMHC mortgage default insurance?
If your down payment is under 20%, lenders require mortgage default insurance (from CMHC or a private insurer). The premium is a percentage of your loan, from 2.80% to 4.00% depending on how much you put down, and it is added to your mortgage. Homes priced over $1.5 million cannot be insured, so they need at least 20% down.
How much do land transfer taxes cost in Toronto?
Ontario charges a provincial land transfer tax on every purchase, and buyers inside the City of Toronto pay a second municipal land transfer tax on top. First-time buyers can claim a rebate of up to $4,000 provincially and up to $4,475 in Toronto. Toggle those options above to see your real closing number.
What is the mortgage stress test?
To get approved, you have to show you could still make payments if rates rose. Lenders qualify you at the greater of your contract rate plus 2% or 5.25%. You do not actually pay that rate, but staying comfortable at it keeps you on solid ground.
Can accelerated payments save me money?
Yes. Accelerated bi-weekly and accelerated weekly payments squeeze in the equivalent of one extra monthly payment each year, which pays your mortgage off years early and saves a real amount of interest. Switch the frequency above to see the difference for your numbers.
