Formula Used

The mortgage payment is calculated using the following formula:

M = P [i(1 + i)ⁿ] / [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1]

Where:

M = Monthly payment
P = Principal loan amount (Home Price - Down Payment)
i = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
n = Number of payments (Amortization Period × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to pay off the loan over the specified term.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a $400,000 home with a 25% down payment, 5-year amortization, and 5% interest rate.

Down payment: 25% of $400,000 = $100,000
Principal loan amount: $400,000 - $100,000 = $300,000
Monthly interest rate: 5% / 12 = 0.4167%
Number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
Using the formula: M = $300,000 [0.004167(1 + 0.004167)⁶⁰] / [(1 + 0.004167)⁶⁰ - 1]
Calculated monthly payment: $6,545.84

Over 5 years, you would pay $392,750 in total, with $92,750 going toward interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fixed and variable rate mortgages?

A fixed-rate mortgage has the same interest rate for the entire loan term, while a variable-rate mortgage's interest rate can change based on market conditions. Fixed rates typically offer more stability, while variable rates may offer lower initial rates.

How much should I put down for a down payment?

In Ontario, the minimum down payment is typically 5% of the home price. However, putting down more can reduce your monthly payments and total interest costs. CIBC often offers programs that allow for as little as 5% down with certain conditions.

What is PMI and when is it required?

PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is required when you put down less than 20% of the home price. It protects the lender if you default on the loan. PMI is usually removed once your equity reaches 20%.
