Formula Used

Mortgage Payment Formula

The monthly mortgage payment is calculated using the standard mortgage 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 divided by 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the remaining balance each month, creating a fixed monthly payment that gradually reduces the principal.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a mortgage payment for a $300,000 loan at 4.5% interest over 25 years:

Convert annual rate to monthly: 4.5% ÷ 12 = 0.375% or 0.00375
Calculate number of payments: 25 years × 12 = 300 payments
Plug values into formula:
M = $300,000 [0.00375(1 + 0.00375)³⁰⁰] / [(1 + 0.00375)³⁰⁰ - 1]
Calculate the result: $300,000 × 0.005247 = $1,574.10

Your estimated monthly payment would be $1,574.10, with a total interest payment of $336,620 over 25 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this Ontario Mortgage Calculator?

This calculator provides estimates based on standard mortgage formulas. Actual payments may vary due to factors like closing costs, property taxes, and insurance. For precise figures, consult with a mortgage professional.

What is the difference between fixed and variable rates?

Fixed-rate mortgages have constant interest rates for the loan term, providing predictable payments. Variable-rate mortgages adjust with market rates, which can be lower initially but may increase over time.

How much should I put down for a mortgage in Ontario?

The minimum down payment is typically 5% for conventional mortgages. A 20% down payment can eliminate private mortgage insurance (PMI) and reduce your overall interest costs.

What is the amortization period?

The amortization period is the length of time you have to repay your mortgage. Common terms are 25, 30, or 40 years. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but lower total interest.
