Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Canadian mortgage payment calculated?+
Canadian mortgage payments are calculated using semi-annual compounding, as required by the Interest Act. The annual rate is converted to an effective monthly rate using the formula: (1 + annual rate / 2)^(1/6) − 1. This is then applied to the principal over the amortization period to produce a level monthly payment.
What is the average mortgage payment in Canada?+
The average Canadian mortgage payment varies significantly by city and home price. As a rough guide, a $600,000 mortgage at 5.25% over 25 years produces a monthly payment of approximately $3,500. Use this calculator to get an accurate estimate for your specific situation.
What is the maximum amortization period in Canada?+
For insured mortgages (less than 20% down payment), the maximum amortization is 25 years. For uninsured mortgages (20% or more down), lenders may offer up to 30 years, though 25 years is most common.
What costs are included in a total monthly housing payment?+
A total monthly housing cost includes your mortgage payment (principal + interest), monthly property tax, home insurance, and condo or strata fees if applicable. Lenders use these figures to calculate your Gross Debt Service (GDS) ratio.
