Rules verified: 2026-07-13 · How we calculate (methodology)

  • Semi-annual compounding: monthly rate = (1 + r/2)^(1/6) − 1, then a standard annuity over 240, 300, or 360 monthly payments.
  • Principal and interest only. Excludes property tax, heating, condo fees, and home insurance. If a CMHC premium is added to your mortgage, apply the table to the total balance.
  • Stress-test qualifying rate = the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25%.
  • Insured mortgages (under 20% down) are capped at 25 years, with 30 years for eligible first-time buyers or buyers of new builds.
  • Rates from 3.00% to 8.00% are illustrative inputs, not offers or current rates.

Frequently asked questions

What is the monthly mortgage payment per $100,000 in Canada?

At 5.00%, it's $581.60 a month over 25 years and $533.69 over 30 years; at 4.00%, it's $526.02 and $475.52. Multiply by your mortgage ÷ $100,000. For example, a $650,000 mortgage is 6.5 × the table value at your rate and amortization. These are principal and interest only, at illustrative rates.

How much lower is a 30-year payment than a 25-year payment per $100,000?

At 5.00%, a 30-year amortization costs $533.69 a month versus $581.60 over 25 years, about $48 less per $100,000. Total interest rises from about $74,481 to about $92,129 per $100,000 if the rate stays the same. With less than 20% down, 30 years is only available to eligible first-time buyers and buyers of newly built homes.

How is the mortgage payment per $100,000 calculated?

We convert the quoted annual rate r to a monthly rate with semi-annual compounding, (1 + r/2)^(1/6) − 1, then apply the standard annuity formula over 240, 300, or 360 monthly payments. Section 6 of the Interest Act requires blended-payment mortgages to state the rate calculated yearly or half-yearly, and Canadian fixed-rate mortgages are typically compounded semi-annually. US-style rate ÷ 12 math gives $584.59 at 5.00% over 25 years, versus $581.60 here.

What is the stress-test qualifying payment per $100,000?

You qualify at the greater of your contract rate plus 2% or 5.25%. At a 5.00% contract rate you qualify at 7.00%: $700.42 a month per $100,000 over 25 years, or $658.60 over 30 years. At 3.00%, the 5.25% floor applies: $595.92 over 25 years. That's the payment used to test affordability, not the payment you'd make.

Is this payment table a mortgage quote?

No. It's an educational estimate at illustrative rates, not a rate quote, pre-approval, or financial advice. Your lender sets the payment when the mortgage funds or renews, so it may differ by a dollar or two. The table excludes property tax, heating, and condo fees. If a CMHC premium is added to your mortgage, apply the table to the total balance.

What is the monthly payment on a $400,000 mortgage at 5%?

About $2,326 per month with a 25-year amortization — $400,000 is 4 × the per-$100,000 payment of $581.60. Canadian fixed mortgages compound semi-annually, so this differs slightly from US-style calculators.
