How to Calculate Mortgage Payment in Canada

🛡️

CMHC Insurance Explained

In Canada, if your down payment is less than 20% of the home's purchase price, you must purchase Default Insurance (provided by CMHC, Sagen, or Canada Guaranty). This protects the lender. This calculator automatically estimates this cost based on your Loan-to-Value ratio.

💰

Payment Frequency Savings

Most Canadians pay monthly, but switching to Accelerated Bi-Weekly can save thousands. By splitting a monthly payment in half and paying every two years, you make 26 half-payments (13 full months) per year instead of 12.

Bonus: Ontario Land Transfer Tax

While our mortgage calculator works for all of Canada, we have included a specific tool for our Ontario clients. Buying in Toronto incurs an additional municipal tax.

First-Time Buyers: You may be eligible for a significant rebate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate my mortgage payment in Canada?
To calculate your mortgage payment in Canada, you need your principal loan amount (Purchase price minus down payment), your interest rate, and your amortization period (typically 25 or 30 years). Unlike US mortgages, Canadian fixed-rate mortgages are compounded semi-annually. This calculator automatically applies the correct Canadian compounding logic.
What is the minimum down payment in Canada?
For homes under $500,000, the minimum down payment is 5%. For homes between $500,000 and $999,999, it is 5% on the first $500k and 10% on the remainder. For homes over $1 million, a 20% down payment is required.
Should I choose a Variable or Fixed rate?
This depends on your risk tolerance. Fixed rates offer stability (your payment never changes), while variable rates fluctuate with the Bank of Canada's prime rate. Variable rates have historically been lower over the long term but carry the risk of rising payments. Contact us for a personalized recommendation.
What is a mortgage stress test?
The stress test ensures you can afford your mortgage if rates rise. You must qualify at a rate that is the higher of your contract rate plus 2% OR the benchmark rate (currently 5.25%). This reduces your maximum borrowing power but protects you from future rate hikes.
