Canadian mortgage planning tool
Estimate mortgage payments, compare Canadian payment frequencies, model semi-annual or monthly compounding, review interest-only private mortgage payments, and export a complete amortization schedule.
Calculation inputs
Enter the terms shown in a commitment or test a planning scenario. Results update automatically.
Enter the principal balance being financed, excluding costs that are not added to the mortgage.
Use the convention stated in the mortgage or loan agreement.
The period covered by the current mortgage agreement.
The projected period required to repay the mortgage in full.
Accelerated payments make the equivalent of roughly one additional monthly payment each year.
Increases the scheduled payment after each full year.
Add one or more projected principal prepayments by payment number. Confirm the lender's contractual prepayment privilege before relying on this scenario.
Choose how the regular payment is rounded before the schedule is generated.
Full precision best matches formula-based calculators; currency precision may better match some lender systems.

Review each projected payment or switch to an annual summary. The complete payment-by-payment schedule is included in the PDF export.

How to interpret the result
Use the calculator to model the payment structure in a mortgage commitment—not merely a headline monthly payment. You can separate the mortgage term from the amortization, change the compounding convention, add projected prepayments, and review both the selected term and the full payoff path.
The calculator converts the entered nominal annual rate into an equivalent rate for the selected payment frequency. It then calculates the level blended payment needed to repay principal and interest over the selected amortization. Accelerated weekly and biweekly payments are derived from the monthly payment and paid more frequently.
With semi-annual compounding, not in advance, the nominal rate is converted through two compounding periods per year before the equivalent monthly, semi-monthly, biweekly, or weekly rate is derived. Review compounding frequency when comparing a bank mortgage with a private, commercial, or other non-standard loan.
Monthly compounding may appear in private, commercial, bridge, and other non-standard structures. In interest-only mortgage mode, the scheduled payment covers periodic interest but does not reduce principal unless a prepayment is added. The remaining balance may become a balloon payment at maturity, making the exit strategy essential.
The mortgage term is the period covered by the current agreement. The amortization period estimates the time required for full repayment if the assumptions continue. At the maturity date, the remaining balance generally must be renewed, refinanced, transferred, or repaid.
Understand the result
A principal-and-interest payment is normally a blended payment. Early in the schedule, a larger share may go to interest; over time, more usually goes to principal. The exact split appears in the amortization schedule.
The term-end balance is usually not a mistake. A Canadian mortgage commonly reaches maturity before the mortgage is fully amortized. The borrower then considers a renewal, switch, refinance, sale, or payout.
The calculator separates the contractual rate from the effective annual rate and estimates the cost of borrowing. A longer amortization can lower the regular payment while increasing lifetime interest if the rate and other assumptions remain unchanged.
Extra payments can reduce interest and shorten the payoff period, but the scenario must fit the lender's prepayment privilege. A lump-sum prepayment or accelerated schedule should be checked against the signed mortgage terms before it is treated as available.

Frequently asked questions
For a principal-and-interest mortgage, the payment must cover interest and repay principal over the amortization. When semi-annual compounding is selected, the nominal annual rate is first converted into an equivalent periodic rate rather than simply divided by 12.
An ordinary biweekly payment is calculated using 26 payment periods per year. An accelerated biweekly payment is generally one-half of the monthly payment, paid 26 times per year. That produces the equivalent of roughly one additional monthly payment each year.
The interest-only payment itself does not amortize the principal. The calculator therefore disables the amortization input in interest-only mode and shows the remaining principal due at maturity after any optional prepayments.
Differences may result from lender-specific rounding, irregular first payment periods, interest adjustment dates, financed fees, exact contract dates, payment processing rules, or a different compounding convention.
No. It assumes the entered rate and payment settings continue until payoff. Most Canadian borrowers renew one or more times, and future rates and terms may change.
This calculator provides estimates for educational and planning purposes only. Results may differ from a lender's calculations because of contract dates, irregular payment periods, rounding, interest adjustments, compounding conventions, fees, taxes, insurance, prepayment rules, and other mortgage terms. The calculator is not a mortgage approval, commitment, rate quote, suitability assessment, or legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice. Confirm all figures and permitted prepayments with the lender and review the signed mortgage documents before making a decision.
