Calculation notes
This simulator uses Canadian mortgage payment math with nominal annual rates compounded semi-annually and converted to monthly payments. Mortgage loan insurance is estimated using the current CMHC homeowner premium schedule. When insurance is required, the premium is added to the loan balance for payment and qualification planning.
Qualifying rate logic follows the higher of the selected contract rate + 2.00% or the current federal floor. Straight uninsured switches at renewal with no increase to amortization or loan amount may be treated differently by lenders, but this simulator focuses on purchase and new underwriting strategy.
