Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ] Where: M = Monthly payment P = Principal loan amount i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

The principal loan amount (P) is calculated as:

P = Home Value - Down Payment

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage for a $500,000 home with a 20% down payment, 25-year term, and 5% interest rate.

Down payment: $500,000 × 20% = $100,000
Principal loan amount: $500,000 - $100,000 = $400,000
Monthly interest rate: 5% ÷ 12 = 0.4167%
Number of payments: 25 × 12 = 300
Monthly payment: $400,000 [ 0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^300 ] / [ (1 + 0.004167)^300 - 1 ] ≈ $2,623.66

Total interest paid over 25 years: $2,623.66 × 300 - $400,000 ≈ $217,000

Term	Ontario Rate	National Rate
5-year fixed	4.5%	5.2%

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between fixed and variable rates? +

Fixed rates remain constant throughout the mortgage term, while variable rates fluctuate with market conditions. Fixed rates typically offer more stability, while variable rates may provide lower initial payments.

How much should I put down? +

In Ontario, a 20% down payment is common, but some lenders accept as little as 5%. A larger down payment reduces monthly payments and total interest costs.

Can I get a mortgage with bad credit? +

Yes, but you may need to pay higher interest rates or provide additional collateral. Specialized lenders cater to borrowers with less-than-perfect credit.
