Mortgage terms and definitions
A fixed rate gives you stability throughout your term with an interest rate and payment amount that will not change.
A variable rate will change along with your bank's prime lending rate. While your payment amount will remain the same, the amount of interest you pay with each payment can fluctuate, which impacts how long it will take to pay off your mortgage.
An open term allows you to make extra payments, switch lenders or pay off your mortgage entirely without any prepayment charges.
A closed term will offer a better interest rate, but if you want to make extra payments, switch lenders or pay off your mortgage, you will be limited by specific terms and conditions and will usually be required to pay a prepayment charge.
Your monthly fixed debt payments include payments that are paid in fixed installments and don’t change month to month, like loans or other mortgages.
Your current revolving debt balance is the total outstanding balances of all debts that have no fixed end date, like credit cards or lines of credit. To calculate your current revolving debt payments, please add your total outstanding balances of all revolving debts.
For example, if you owe $2,000 on your credit card, and $5,000 on a line of credit, your current revolving debt balance would be $7,000
This is known as the Canadian Mortgage Stress Test which is mandated by the Government of Canada. It protects you from future interest rate increases by proving you can afford payments at a qualifying interest rate. This rate is typically higher than the actual rate in your mortgage contract.
Banks must use the higher interest rate of either 5.25% or your contract rate plus 2%.
If you're putting down less than 20% towards the purchase of your home (between 5% and 19.99%), it's mandatory to buy mortgage default insurance in Canada.
The insurance helps to protect the lender in case you're unable to make your mortgage payments.
The cost of your insurance is based on a percentage of your total mortgage amount. The bigger your down payment, the less you will pay for mortgage default insurance.
Your results are based on the size of your down payment as well as debt like loans, credit cards, or lines of credit.
If the numbers aren't what you expected, our mortgage specialists can help you assess your financial situation and create a plan to reduce monthly payments or boost savings to make your dream of owning a home a reality.
