METHODOLOGY
How it works
Canadian Semi-Annual Compounding
Unlike American mortgages that compound monthly, Canadian mortgages use semi-annual compounding. This means interest is calculated twice per year, then converted to your payment frequency. The effective rate is slightly lower than the nominal rate advertised.
Payment Frequency Options
Monthly payments (12/year) are standard, but bi-weekly (26/year) or weekly (52/year) payments can reduce total interest paid over the life of the mortgage by making more frequent principal reductions.
Assumptions
This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate for the full amortization period. In reality, most Canadian mortgages have 5-year terms that renew at prevailing rates. Your actual costs may vary based on rate changes at renewal.
