Canadian mortgage calculator.

A detailed Nova Scotia homebuying estimate using Canadian fixed-rate mortgage mathematics and current insured-mortgage rules. Adjust the figures to match your purchase and lender quote.

Your mortgage details

Only relevant with less than 20% down and 30-year amortization.

This calculator accepts any down-payment amount for payment modelling; it does not determine whether that financing is available. Standard CMHC-insured financing has specific minimum equity and eligibility requirements. Assumes an owner-occupied property and a fixed mortgage rate compounded semi-annually. Does not calculate qualification, lender fees, deed transfer tax, legal expenses or future rate changes.

*Projection assumes the entered interest rate remains constant for the entire amortization. If insurance is not estimable, payments exclude any possible alternative financing costs. Actual terms are determined by your lender.

Important calculation notes. The fixed-rate periodic interest calculation converts nominal annual interest compounded twice per year into the equivalent effective rate for each payment period. Standard biweekly and weekly payments use their own amortized periodic rate; accelerated payments are based on half or one quarter of the monthly payment. CMHC premiums assume standard down-payment sources and are financed into the mortgage. A 0.20 percentage-point insurance surcharge applies to eligible amortizations beyond 25 years. Insured financing is generally unavailable for homes priced at $1.5 million or more. The all-in housing figure is a budgeting estimate, not a lender qualification or stress-test result.
