A lower rate gives you more savings than merely a lower monthly payment. The real savings is both the interest saved, plus the additional principal paid down over the term.

It's an 'aha' moment — when you see how much you'll save.

Our Compare & Save Calculator shows you:

The considerable savings of a lower mortgage rate over a typical mortgage term
The 'lower rate' is our current rate vs competitor rates
It shows how much interest you'll save
AND it shows how much more principal you'll pay down — which can shorten your amortization to help pay off your mortgage earlier

Clearly, our better rates help you keep more money in your pocket.

Money that you can use for other things, on your terms. Money saved that can really add up over the life of your mortgage.

But, the savings don't stop there.

Here's how our rates-comparison calculator works:

Lower Rate is first set at our current 5 Year Fixed rate (the rate most-often chosen by Canadian home owners).

Higher Rate is 0.20 more than our current 5 Year Fixed rate (or, you can type in the higher rate you're currently paying). On average, this is how much lower our rate is vs the competition (aka the banks), thanks to our volume discount. Want more proof that our rates are lower? Check out our blog post for the data behind our great rates.

Mortgage Size defaults to the average price of a home in Canada. Enter in your mortgage amount.

Mortgage Term is first set to 5 Year Fixed, the term and rate-type that many clients prefer to lock in at (given the current historically-low rates). Already have a mortgage? Choose the term for your remaining time to see how much you might save if you switch now (pre-payment penalties may apply), or would have saved (talk to us at renewal time!).

Amortization is first set to 25 years (by far the most common).

Compare & Save Calculator FAQ's

What is a mortgage term?

A mortgage term is the length of time you hold your financing agreement with your lender — anywhere from 6 months to 10 years (with 5 years being the most common).

Your term includes everything outlined by the lender's mortgage contract, such as the interest rate, your payments, pre-payment privileges and penalties, and other details.

At the end of your current term, you'll either pay out your mortgage in full (not that likely) or renew for another term (very likely). You'll continue to renew for multiple terms until your mortgage 'matures,' which means it's finally paid out in full, at the end of your amortization.

What is amortization?

Amortization is the calculated number of years it will take to pay off your mortgage in full.

Standard amortization in Canada is 25 years
For high-ratio mortgages (less then 20% down payment), maximum amortization is 25 years
Having more time to pay off your mortgage is called an 'extended' amortization, which may be available, depending on your situation and the lender

How can I save more money on my mortgage?

In addition to our better rates, having a flexible mortgage product is also important in helping you save.

See an ultra, ultra low rate on the web? Guess what? The mortgage that comes with it may have unexpected restrictions that will cost you more at renewal time, or prevent you from making additional payments or changes in your payment frequency during your term.

Having a flexible mortgage product right off the start will help you pay off your mortgage faster by allowing more pre-payment privileges and more options at renewal time.

Our expert True North Mortgage brokers can advise you on ways to increase the amount you put down on your principal, to shorten your amortization and further reduce the amount you pay in interest over the life of your mortgage.
