Accurate information at your fingertips

A mortgage calculator and a borrowing calculator are specialized tools to help you assess the financial implications of taking out a mortgage or other loan. By inputting details such as loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and any additional fees like taxes and insurance, you can get a clear picture of your monthly payments, total interest paid, and the overall cost of the loan over time.

Frequently asked questions about mortgage payments


What will my monthly mortgage payment be?

Your payment depends on the mortgage amount, interest rate, amortization period, and payment frequency. A mortgage payment calculator provides an estimate within seconds.

Can I buy my first home with only 5% down?

Yes. Many first-time buyers in Ontario purchase with as little as 5% down, provided they meet lending qualifications.

Should I choose weekly, bi-weekly or monthly mortgage payments?

Accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payments generally reduce interest and help pay off your mortgage faster than monthly payments.

What happens if interest rates increase?

Higher rates can increase mortgage payments or reduce the amount you qualify to borrow. Mortgage calculators let you compare different rate scenarios.

Should I shorten my amortization period?

Shorter amortizations mean higher monthly payments but significantly less interest paid over the life of the mortgage.

Should I refinance or renew my mortgage?

Renewing keeps your existing mortgage balance with a new rate and term, while refinancing allows you to borrow more or change your mortgage structure.

What is a Credit Union?

Credit Unions provide many of the same services as a bank, including chequing and savings accounts, mortgages, loans, credit cards, investments, and online banking. Unlike traditional banks, credit unions are owned by their members - not shareholders - so profits are typically reinvested into better rates, lower fees, improved services, and support for local communities.
