You have things you want to achieve in your life, like getting married and starting a family. It’s starts with owning the roof over your head. Use the Home Ownership Timeline Calculator and discover when home ownership will happen for you so you can build your life around and in your home.

How and where should I put my money so my down payment grows as fast as possible? The Home Buyer Savings Strategy Optimizer reveals your optimal strategy to prioritize and disperse your savings across the FHSA, TFSA, HBP and other programs to maximize your downpayment.

By incorporating real tax rules, contribution limits, and projected investment growth, the Home Buyer Savings Strategy Optimizer analyzes multiple savings strategies over a defined timeline and ranks them based on your specific goals—whether that’s maximizing your down payment, maintaining flexibility, or minimizing future repayment obligations

See in real terms what moving up means for your budget, your lifestyle, and your long-term financial position—so you can make a confident, informed decision about taking that next step.

The Move Up / Down Calculator goes beyond basic estimates by showing your net proceeds, total purchase requirements, cash needed (or surplus), and new mortgage payments—while also evaluating affordability using GDS/TDS ratios. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or simply exploring your options, this tool helps you make a confident, informed decision based on real numbers—not assumptions.

The First-Time Homebuyer Pre-Approval Calculator allows you to model real-life scenarios by entering income, debts, down payment, and property details—while also incorporating co-signers and guarantors where applicable.

Understanding what you can afford is more than just a number—it’s about how your entire financial profile comes together. By analyzing income, debts, down payment, credit, and rental scenarios, you get a clear, structured view of your borrowing capacity.

If you shop for mortgages on rate, you are missing the story. The Cost of Borrowing Calculator is designed to reveal the true cost of borrowing which includes the rate, compounding, fees, etc.. by converting everything into a single, comparable number: your Annual Percentage Rate (APR).

When rates change, how is your mortgage impacted? The Prime Rate change Calculator bridges that gap by translating rate headlines into real financial impact.

Designed specifically for variable-rate mortgages, this calculator shows how rate changes affect your mortgage payment, structure, and long-term cost so you can determine if fixed or variable is right for you.

You know how much mortgage you need, but how much income must you make? The Required Income Calculator is designed to reverse-engineer mortgage qualification by showing you exactly how much gross annual income is required for a specific mortgage scenario, using real Canadian lending rules, including the federal stress test.

Most buyers don’t fail the mortgage stress test because they’re unqualified—they fail because they don’t understand how it works. By adjusting key variables like income, debt, down payment, and structure, you can see in real time how small changes can unlock significantly better outcomes.

Stress Test Strategy Simulator is designed to help you make better, informed decisions, devise strategies, and avoid costly surprises while moving forward with clarity and confidence.

How much extra does it cost when you don’t have 20% down?… It depends!

I’ve designed the Mortgage Default Insurance Calculator to calculate your insurance premium based on your loan-to-value ratio, down payment, and mortgage structure—just like lenders and insurers do. It shows how even small changes in your down payment can significantly affect your total borrowing cost.

Often, the biggest barrier to homeownership isn’t income—it’s down payment.

The Flex Down Calculator is designed to answer a critical question: Is it smarter to wait and save, or move forward now using a borrowed down payment strategy?  By evaluating the real trade-offs behind a flex down mortgage, you can decide if you shold buy now instead of waiting years to save.

Your credit limit improves financial flexibility—but it can limit how much mortgage you qualify for.

The Credit Limit Mortgage Impact Calcualtor illustrates how your available credit—not just your balances—can reduce your borrowing power. Using the same debt servicing assumptions lenders apply, it calculates how higher credit limits increase your implied monthly obligations and shrink the mortgage you can qualify for.

Navigating a private mortgage deal means juggling a lot of moving parts. I built the PMB Private Mortgage Calculator specifically around PMB Professional Mortgage Broker’s lending guidelines to give you a clear, honest picture to start the conversation.

Built to help borrowers, realtors, and financial professionals across Ontario’s Durham Region, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough and Northumberland Counties, as well as selective areas of Haliburton and Muskoka.

There’s what lenders will approve you for and then there’s what you can truly afford. Use my Purchase Price Affordability Calculator to discover how much you can afford to pay for a home. Don’t become house rich and cash poor.

Built with current stress test guidelines, CMHC insurance logic, and realistic cost assumptions, it highlights the impact of income, debt, interest rates, and amortization—while also showing true cash requirements, including closing costs.

See in real terms what moving up means for your budget, your lifestyle, and your long-term financial position—so you can make a confident, informed decision about taking that next step.

The Move Up / Down Calculator goes beyond basic estimates by showing your net proceeds, total purchase requirements, cash needed (or surplus), and new mortgage payments—while also evaluating affordability using GDS/TDS ratios.

Most buyers walk past the right home simply because it needs work.

My Purchase Plus Improvements Calculator helps you evaluate what happens when you buy a home below market value and upgrade it to your vision—all within one mortgage. Instantly see your true mortgage amount, monthly payment, cash required, and potential value creation after renovations.

More importantly, it shows you: The real cash pressure before reimbursement, how improvements impact your financing structure, and whether your plan creates equity or just adds cost.

Construction projects don’t fail because of bad opportunities—they fail because of poor financing structure.

The Construction Project Financing Calculator is built to help you see the full capital stack before you commit. Whether you’re planning a teardown, a remodel, or a ground-up build, this tool breaks down your funding sources, costs, and profit margins into a clear, decision-ready framework.

Instead of guessing, you can now model scenarios, stress-test your deal, and understand exactly how financing impacts your returns—before you take on risk.

If your down payment is under 20%, you must pay Mortgage Default Insurance. It allows lenders to offer lower rates on smaller down payments, making homeownership more accessible. 

Use my Default Mortgage Insurance Calculator to determine if you should wait until you get 20% down, or if you can afford to move forward today.

When you buy real estate, you must pay a Land Transfer Tax (LTT) or something similar at closing. LTT is calculated as a percentage of the purchase price, using a sliding scale—the higher the property price, the higher the tax bracket you pay on each portion. 

Use my Land Transfer Tax Calculator to see how big of a bite the tax man is taking out of your future.

You focus on the down payment and mortgage—but overlook, “How much cash do I need to close?”

I’ve designed the Closing Costs Calculator to give you a complete, all-in estimate of the cash required on closing day, going far beyond simple rules of thumb. It accounts for key expenses such as land transfer taxes (including applicable rebates), legal fees, title insurance, appraisal costs, and other lender-related charges.

Timing the closing between your old and new home is tough—and when your purchase and sale don’t align, it can create a costly and stressful gap. 

The Bridge Financing Calculator determines how much it costs to hold on to your old home while taking possession of your new home (so you have two homes for a short time), so you can make a stress-free move and do any improvements before you move in.

Discharging a mortgage isn’t just a signature and a handshake—it comes with real out-of-pocket costs that can surprise you if you don’t plan for them. The Mortgage Discharge Calculator gives you a fast, practical estimate of typical discharge expenses based on the type of lender you have (Prime, Alternative, or Private/MIC).

Use it whenever you’re thinking about refinancing, switching lenders, selling, payouts after a separation, or any situation where your mortgage needs to come off title.

Every mortgage is different with different attributes you can adjust in different ways. Use the Mortgage Payment Comparison Calculator to run scenarios to see how adjusting your mortgage and comparing the results with your present payments can allow you to have more money at the end of the month or less mortgage at the end of your term.

You’ll discover that a cheaper rate often costs more in the long run.

By adjusting the ‘levers’ in your mortgage you can run scenarios to optimize your payments to achieve your goals; such as more cash at the end of the month, or paying off your mortgage faster.

How much of your income is going towards housing? Financial Planners advise spending no more than 30% of your income on housing. Are you spending too much or do you have room for more house while still staying on budget?

Imagine how great it will feel to be mortgage free and out-from-under. Own the roof over your head. Use the Mortgage-Free Accelerator to see the impact even small changes can make in becoming mortgage-free faster. 

A STEP mortgage is a portfolio of mortgage segments that require planning and optimization. Model segmented mortgage strategies, compare segment performance, visualize maturities, and optimize the structure around your priorities. 

How much does that mortgage really cost. Sure there’s the rate, but what about compounding, potential fees, structure, and timing? You’ll quickly learn you can’t compare mortgages simply on interest rate alone. 

Compare your present lender’s renewal offer with other lenders’ offers. Discover how even small improvements can save you thousands of dollars. Definitely worth the time to do the paperwork.

Should you renew into a variable or fixed mortgage? When thinking variable and rates change, how is your mortgage impacted? The Prime Rate Change Calculator let’s you know how much a change in rate impacts your variable rate mortgage.

Designed specifically for variable-rate mortgages, it not only shows rate impact on your mortgage payment, structure, and long-term cost, but it helps you evaluate if you can handle the risk of going variable vs the certainty of going fixed.

You have equity in your home, but which is the best way to access it?

My Refinance vs HELOC vs Second Mortgage Analyzer removes the guesswork. Enter your property details, existing mortgage, and borrowing goal — and the mortgage engine models all three equity-access strategies side by side, comparing real upfront costs, monthly payment impact, and total cost over your chosen time horizon.

To make a change to your mortgage during its term, such as a refinance or selling, you must break your mortgage, but the real financial decision often comes down to one critical question: “What will it cost me to break my mortgage?”

The Mortgage Penalty Calculators provide a comprehensive suite of tools based on lender type that estimate the cost of breaking a mortgage, including both three months’ interest and the more complex Interest Rate Differential (IRD).

Your home equity isn’t just a number on paper — it’s a powerful financial tool if you know how to use it properly.

Use the Home Equity Access Calculator to model how much equity you may be able to unlock through multiple strategies, including refinancing, a HELOC, second mortgages, or alternative lending solutions. More importantly, it doesn’t just show what’s possible—it shows the real trade-offs behind each option.

The Debt Consolidation Calculator is a quick, practical way for homeowners to see whether rolling high-interest debt (credit cards, car loans, lines of credit, and other payments) into home equity could lower their monthly interest cost.

Model how rolling high-interest debts into your mortgage can transform your financial position—by converting multiple payments into a single, lower-cost, structured obligation.

Buying into a home your partner already owns is a complex financial decision.

The Partner Home Buy-In Calculator helps you determine a fair buy-in amount, understand how monthly costs should be shared, and track how equity should be allocated over time.

Model unequal contributions, living arrangements, and ownership splits, then simulate future outcomes—including buyouts, refinancing, or selling the property when and if your relationship ends.

Buying a home with family comes with opportunity—but also complexity. The Family Multi-Member Pre-Approval Calculator combines multiple incomes, debts, credit profiles, and down payment sources into one structured analysis, showing how a shared purchase qualifies from a lender’s perspective.

Designed for modern family housing solutions, the Family Shared Ownership Calculator helps structure shared home ownership across siblings, parents, and multigenerational households.

Model different roles—owners, residents, and contributors—while adjusting for space usage, financial input, and living benefit. Then simulate real-life scenarios such as income changes, participants moving out, or future exit strategies including buyouts or sale.

Doing a Divorce Refinance is the most common methods to enable one partner to keep the home and empower both to move forward with their lives. The Divorce Refinance Calculator helps answer the question that truly matters during a separation:

“Can I realistically keep the home—and if so, how?”

By turning complex mortgage and refinance calculations into a clear picture, the Divorce Refinance Calculator helps you move from uncertainty toward informed decisions about the future.

When a Divorce Refinance is not possible because there isn’t enough equity in the home, a Spousal Buy Out may be an option.

The Spousal Buy Out Calculator determines: how much to buy out your spouse, the costs, the amount of your new mortgage and if you can afford to buy out your spouse.

When you want to keep your home, there is a logical order through the available options I walk through with clients. Sometimes none of the first three doors work. Welcome to door number four; using an Alternative lender to keep your home.

I coded the Divorce Alternative Calculator to show what going with an Alternative lender could look like and whether other options may be a better path for you.
