Formula Used
The calculator uses the standard mortgage payment formula:
Mortgage Payment Formula
Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Where:
- P = Principal loan amount (Purchase Price - Down Payment)
- r = Monthly interest rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
- n = Number of payments (Term in years × 12)
This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for an amortized loan. The calculator also computes total interest paid over the loan term.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a mortgage for a $400,000 property with a 20% down payment, 25-year term, and 5% interest rate.
- Down payment: $400,000 × 20% = $80,000
- Principal loan amount: $400,000 - $80,000 = $320,000
- Monthly interest rate: 5% / 12 / 100 = 0.004167
- Number of payments: 25 × 12 = 300
- Monthly payment: $320,000 × (0.004167(1 + 0.004167)^300) / ((1 + 0.004167)^300 - 1) ≈ $2,124.64
- Total interest paid: ($2,124.64 × 300) - $320,000 ≈ $164,392
This example shows that with these terms, you would pay approximately $2,124.64 per month with about $164,392 in total interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this TD Mortgage Calculator Ontario?
This calculator provides estimates based on standard mortgage formulas. For precise figures, consult with a TD mortgage professional or use official TD mortgage calculators.
What is the difference between fixed and variable rates?
Fixed rates remain constant for the loan term, while variable rates change with market rates. Fixed rates offer predictability, while variable rates may offer lower initial rates but come with interest rate risk.
How does the down payment affect my mortgage?
A larger down payment reduces your principal loan amount and monthly payments. It also may allow you to avoid mortgage insurance in some cases.
What are Ontario's mortgage stress tests?
Stress tests are used by lenders to ensure borrowers can afford their mortgage payments even if interest rates rise. They typically require borrowers to demonstrate they can handle higher payments if rates increase by 2% or more.
