Amortization period
The number of years over which you will repay this mortgage.
Mortgage amount

Down Payment and Closing Costs: | Total closing costs: $0.00 |
Cash on hand
Cash you have for the down payment and all closing costs. An ideal down payment is between 10 - 20% of the purchase price of the home. You may be eligible to use money from your RRSP to help fund your home purchase. Starting in February 2016, there is a required minimum down payment requirement of 5% for homes with a purchase price of $0 to $500,000. For amounts over $500,000 an additional 10% down payment is required for each dollar over $500,000. For amounts over $1,000,000 a 20% down payment is required. The down payment does not include mortgage insurance, which may be financed.
Mortgage fees
Fees your financial institution charges for originating your mortgage.
Other closing costs
Estimate of all other closing costs for this loan. This should include filing fees, appraiser fees and any other misc. fees paid.
Is this a new home?
Many new homes have the purchase price with GST and/or HST/PST included. If this is the case for your home purchase, the checkbox to include GST should be left unchecked since the GST and/or HST/PST will be included in the purchase price.
This calculator calculates GST at 5% of a new home's purchase price minus a GST rebate. GST rebates are calculated as follows. For homes under $350,000, the rebate amounts to 36% of GST, up to a maximum rebate of $6,300. For homes between $350,000 and $450,000, the maximum rebate of $6,300 declines to zero on a proportional basis. All homes selling for more than $450,000 receive no GST rebate.
It is important to be aware that there may be additional taxes on new home purchases in the form of HST and/or PST, depending on the province where the purchase is made.

Mortgage Insurance Required?
Check this box if you wish to calculate the amount of mortgage insurance payable. For additional information regarding mortgage insurance please read the definition below.
Mortgage Loan Insurance Premium (non-refundable)
Mortgage insurance is financed in your mortgage and does not increase your closing costs but does increase your mortgage balance. Mortgage insurance makes it possible for home buyers to purchase a home using a lower down payment. The Canadian Bank Act prohibits most federally regulated lending institutions from providing mortgages without mortgage loan insurance for amounts that exceed 80% of the value of the home or purchases with less than 20% down payment. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Sagentm are two companies that offer Mortgage Loan insurance. For more information please visit their websites at www.chmc.ca and www.sagen.ca.
| Loan Size (% of property value) | Rate (as a % of loan) |

| Up to and including 75% (25% to 34.99% down payment) | 1.7% |

| Up to and including 95% (5% to 9.99% down payment) | 4.0% |
