    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1Calculate the base loan and loan-to-value.
    2. 2Add a Canadian CMHC premium when the LTV is above 80% and the financed-premium option is on.
    3. 3Apply the country-specific rate conversion and payment-frequency formula.
    4. 4Simulate interest through the selected schedule, then add recurring housing costs separately.

    Formulas

    • Base loan = home price − down payment
    • Canada monthly r = (1 + annualRate/2)^(2/12) − 1
    • U.S. monthly r = annualRate/12
    • Payment = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n − 1)
    • Accelerated biweekly = monthly payment ÷ 2; accelerated weekly = monthly payment ÷ 4
    • Monthly housing total = monthly-equivalent P&I + tax + heating + insurance + condo/HOA + PMI

    Important assumptions

    • Canada converts a quoted nominal annual rate compounded semi-annually with r = (1 + j/2)^(2/12) − 1 before converting to the selected payment period.
    • U.S. principal and interest uses a monthly rate of annual rate ÷ 12. Both modes support the frequency choices for comparison, although monthly is the common U.S. convention.
    • Canadian CMHC planning tiers are 0.60%, 1.70%, 2.40%, 2.80%, 3.10%, and 4.00% by LTV. All six are editable review assumptions; this high-ratio estimate applies the 2.80%, 3.10%, or 4.00% tier only when LTV is above 80%.
    • Canada counts 50% of condo fees in ratio-style housing assumptions. This payment view shows the full condo fee in cash costs and the 50% component in the breakdown. U.S. HOA is counted at 100%.
    • Results are educational estimates. Actual lender qualification, taxes, insurance, fees, mortgage-insurance rules, and payment treatment vary.

    Use the current terms

    These Canadian and U.S. government references are starting points for mortgage insurance, home-buying education, and selected taxes. They do not validate every default or determine eligibility. Rates, fees, taxes, rebates, qualifying rules, and lender criteria change by jurisdiction and borrower. Use the editable assumptions, then confirm current terms with a licensed mortgage broker or lender.

    Defaults are editable estimates. Match them to your current account, provider statement, official authority, lender, or adviser before making a pricing or investment decision.

    Worked example

    A Canadian starter-home scenario

    $650,000 home, $65,000 down, 5.20% quoted rate, 25-year amortization, monthly payments, $5,000 annual property tax, and $120 monthly homeowners insurance.

    The calculator separates the principal-and-interest payment from recurring costs, shows the estimated CMHC premium at 90% LTV, and makes the Canadian compounding and insurance assumptions visible.
