How to Use This Mortgage Calculator

Whether you are buying a home in the United States or Canada, understanding your monthly mortgage payment is the first step to homeownership. This tool calculates your principal and interest payments based on your loan amount, interest rate, and term length.

US vs. Canadian Mortgages

The main difference lies in compounding. US mortgages typically use monthly compounding, meaning interest is calculated 12 times a year. Canadian mortgages use semi-annual compounding, which can slightly lower your effective monthly payment. Select your region in the dropdown above for the most accurate result.

Tips for Lowering Your Payment

  • Increase your down payment: This lowers the principal loan amount.
  • Extend your term: Moving from a 15-year to a 30-year term lowers monthly costs but increases total interest paid.
  • Shop for rates: Even a 0.5% difference in interest rate can save you thousands over the life of the loan.
