1. What is a TD Canada Mortgage Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates monthly mortgage payments for Canadian mortgages using the standard Canadian interest calculation method.

Purpose: It helps home buyers and homeowners understand their potential mortgage payments when considering a TD Canada Trust mortgage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ M = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

where \( r = (1 + \frac{i}{2})^{\frac{1}{6}} - 1 \)

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (CAD)
\( P \) — Loan principal (CAD)
\( r \) — Effective monthly interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (term in years × 12)
\( i \) — Annual interest rate (decimal)

Explanation: Canadian mortgages use semi-annual compounding converted to monthly rates, which differs from standard monthly compounding.

3. Importance of Mortgage Calculation

Details: Accurate payment estimation helps with budgeting and ensures you can comfortably afford your mortgage payments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in CAD, annual interest rate (default 5.00%), and loan term in years (default 25). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the Canadian calculation different?
A: Canadian mortgages traditionally use semi-annual compounding converted to monthly payments, unlike the monthly compounding used in some other countries.

Q2: Does this include property taxes and insurance?
A: No, this calculates only the principal and interest portion. Additional costs would increase your total monthly payment.

Q3: What's a typical Canadian mortgage term?
A: Most Canadian mortgages have 25-year amortization periods, though terms (rate lock periods) are typically 1-5 years.

Q4: How does the interest rate affect payments?
A: Higher rates increase monthly payments significantly. Even a 1% difference can substantially impact your payment amount.

Q5: Can I use this for other Canadian lenders?
A: Yes, this calculation method applies to all Canadian mortgages, not just TD Canada Trust.
