Mortgage payment calculator

See your monthly mortgage payment using Canadian semi-annual compounding. Default insurance (CMHC, Sagen, or Canada Guaranty) is auto-calculated. Estimates only — final qualification depends on your full file with a verified agent.

Term = how long your rate is locked with this lender (typically 1–5 years; 5 is most common). After it ends you renew. Different from amortization, which is the total time to pay off the loan. More about terms.

These flags unlock 30-year insured amortization eligibility (CMHC rule).

Most federally regulated lenders qualify uninsured mortgages at the higher of your contract rate plus 2.00% or 5.25% (OSFI Guideline B-20). Your contract payment is what you actually pay; the stress-test payment shows what your file would have to support to qualify.
