Estimates only. Uses Canadian semi-annual compounding and an approximate default-insurance premium for down payments under 20%.

Actual rates, premiums and payments are set by your lender; speak with a mortgage professional before making decisions.

Good to Know

Mortgage basics for Canadian buyers

Minimum down payment

5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion above that, and 20% on homes priced at $1.5 million or more.

Default insurance

With less than 20% down, lenders require mortgage default insurance. The premium is usually added to your mortgage balance.

The stress test

Lenders qualify you at a rate higher than your contract rate. Get pre-approved early so you shop with a realistic budget.
