Formula Used

Mortgage Payment Formula

The monthly mortgage payment is calculated using the 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)
  • n = number of payments (amortization period × 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the loan balance each month, which is why the payment amount increases over time as the principal decreases.

Worked Example

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

  1. Principal = $400,000 × (1 - 0.25) = $300,000
  2. Monthly interest rate = 5% / 12 = 0.4167%
  3. Number of payments = 25 × 12 = 300
  4. Using the formula: M = $300,000 [0.004167(1 + 0.004167)300] / [(1 + 0.004167)300 - 1]
  5. This calculates to approximately $1,835.44 per month

The calculator will show this exact calculation when you enter these values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current TD Bank mortgage rate in Ontario?

TD Bank's current mortgage rates in Ontario vary based on your credit profile and loan type. The calculator uses a default rate of 5.25% for variable rates and 4.75% for fixed rates, but you should check TD Bank's current rates for the most accurate information.

How much should I put down on a house in Ontario?

In Ontario, the minimum down payment is typically 5% for conventional mortgages. However, putting down 20% or more can save you thousands in interest payments over the life of the loan. The calculator shows how different down payment amounts affect your monthly payments.

What is the difference between fixed and variable rates?

Fixed-rate mortgages have the same interest rate for the entire term, while variable rates (also called adjustable rates) can change based on market conditions. Fixed rates typically offer more stability, while variable rates may offer lower initial rates. The calculator allows you to compare both options.
