How this mortgage calculator works
Canadian mortgages use semi-annual compounding, so interest is computed twice per year rather than monthly as in the US. This results in a slightly lower effective rate than a comparable US calculator would show.
CMHC insurance
If your down payment is below 20%, mortgage default insurance (commonly called CMHC) is required and is added to the loan balance.
- 5% – 9.99% down: 4.00% premium
- 10% – 14.99% down: 3.10% premium
- 15% – 19.99% down: 2.80% premium
CMHC insurance is not available on homes priced over $1,000,000.
Payment frequency
Accelerated bi-weekly or weekly payments effectively add one extra monthly payment per year, shortening amortization and reducing total interest.
