Canadian mortgage math, done right
Every calculator here uses semi-annual compounding — the Canadian legal convention — not the monthly compounding baked into most US tools, so your payment matches what a Canadian lender actually quotes. Your payment is set by the mortgage amount (purchase price minus down payment, plus the CMHC premium when you’re under 20% down), the interest rate, and the amortization period.
The rate is the lever most people get wrong. Banks run a posted/branch rate and a lower broker-channel rate a licensed brokerage accesses — typically 15-30 bps cheaper. The bank-specific calculators above show both, so you can see exactly what the broker channel is worth on your number. When you’re ready, we shop your file across 100+ lenders on one application — the modelled number becomes a real, competitive rate.
