Key Formulas Used
The calculator uses the following formulas to provide estimates:
Property Value Estimate
Property value is estimated based on the average price per square foot in the selected Ontario region.
Formula: Property Value = (Square Footage) × (Average Price per Square Foot)
Down Payment Calculation
The down payment is calculated as a percentage of the property value.
Formula: Down Payment = Property Value × (Down Payment Percentage / 100)
Mortgage Payment Calculation
Mortgage payments are calculated using the standard mortgage formula.
Formula: Monthly Payment = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]
Where: P = Principal loan amount, r = monthly interest rate, n = number of payments
Property Tax Calculation
Property taxes are calculated based on the assessed value and the current Ontario property tax rate.
Formula: Annual Property Tax = Assessed Value × (Tax Rate / 100)
