The easiest way to determine your mortgage payments.

Minimum Amount: Our calculator will automatically calculate your minimum payment. The Canadian government regulates the formula. Currently, it is as follows: 5% on homes under $500,000. Homes between $500,000 and $1M require 5% of the first $500,00, plus 10% of the remainder. All homes over $1 million require 20% down but do not require mortgage insurance.
Required Mortgage Insurance: If you have less than 20% down, you are required to purchase Mortgage Loan Insurance in the form of a premium added to your mortgage. The buyer buys mortgage insurance for the lender. If you have 20% down, you do not need to purchase mortgage insurance, resulting in considerable savings.
