Mortgage Calculator

Looking for the best mortgage rate? If so, this page is for you! We get you the best mortgage rates across Canadian banks, large lenders and mortgage brokerages. Your search includes fixed or variable mortgage rates and is tailored to the term, amount, amortization and other variables that you need. Not all mortgages are the same. The two main mortgage types are:

  • Fixed Rate: has the same interest rate through the whole mortgage term, allowing you to minimize your risk as you know exactly what you’ll be paying.
  • Variable Rate: has a floating interest rate based on the prime rate. Fluctuations mean your rate may be higher or lower than your starting rate. The variable approach can save you money if rates go down, but will be more expensive if rates go up.
Fixed and variable rates are just two of your many options. The type of mortgage you need depends on your current financial situation and future goals.

Important Information for First-Time Buyers

Rebates and Special Programs are Available: First-time homebuyers in Canada may qualify for special savings and programs, including the First Time Homebuyer tax credit and the opportunity to use RRSP to buy a home. As your mortgage agent, I will strive to keep you informed about all the latest refunds, rebates and other resources to save money on your home purchase.
Different Types of Mortgages: First-time buyers may choose from conventional mortgages, in which the lender provides as much as 80% of the home’s appraised value, or insured mortgages, in which the lender finances as much as 95% of the home’s appraised value. In the case of an insured mortgage (also known as a high-ratio mortgage), the homebuyer must secure additional insurance from one of the qualifying institutions, including CMHC, Genworth or Canada Guaranty.
