This is an estimate, not a lending decision. This tool is not a mortgage offer, a pre-approval, a commitment to lend, or a determination of what you qualify for. It does not review credit, income, or assets, and it applies the same calculation to every person who uses it. {{BROKERAGE NAME}} and Elizabeth Chi Personal Real Estate Corporation provide real estate services and are not a lender, mortgage broker, insurance agent, or tax advisor.
Your rate will not hold for the whole amortization. This calculator assumes one rate for the entire payoff period. A Canadian mortgage term is usually one to five years, after which you renew at whatever rates are available then. Treat the figure above as today's payment, not a thirty-year commitment.
Payments here use semi-annual compounding, the standard for Canadian fixed-rate mortgages. Property tax in British Columbia is calculated on your BC Assessment value, not your purchase price, and assessed values typically lag the market — the tax figure above is a planning estimate, so replace it with the actual figure from the listing or the property tax notice. If your down payment is under 20%, mortgage default insurance is required, is calculated as a percentage of the mortgage, is added to your mortgage balance rather than paid monthly, and does not cancel as you build equity. Your lender will also apply a qualifying stress test rate higher than your contract rate. Property transfer tax, legal fees, and a possible GST on new construction are closing costs and are not included above. Confirm every number with a licensed mortgage professional, insurance broker, and lawyer or notary.
