Ultimate Mortgage Renewal Calculator

by | December 1, 2025

… Don’t Loose Money! You Can Do Better.

Mortgage renewal season is here, and it’s bigger than ever. Across Canada, more mortgages are coming up for renewal than at any time in history. And while many folks just sign whatever their lender puts in front of them (because, hey, life’s busy), that simple decision can cost thousands—sometimes tens of thousands—of dollars over the life of a mortgage. Don’t lose money.

Here’s the truth: even a 0.10% difference in your mortgage rate—a single tenth of a percent—can add up to tens of thousands of dollars your pocket, or somebody else’s if you don’t do your homework. That’s why renewal isn’t just paperwork; it’s an opportunity. And to make the most of it, you need a tool that lays out your options in black and white. Enter Allen Ehlert’s Ultimate Mortgage Renewal Calculator—your secret weapon for making sure you never leave money on the table.

Here’s what we’ll cover today:

Why Renewals Are the Hidden Opportunity in Mortgages

Most Canadians don’t realize it, but renewal time is one of the best chances to negotiate. Your current lender knows it’s cheaper to keep you than to find a new client—but they’re also hoping you’ll be too busy (or too trusting) to shop around. That’s where you can win big.

With rates fluctuating and competition fierce, even a small reduction in your mortgage rate translates into thousands saved. Over five years, shaving just 10 basis points (0.10%) off a $500,000 mortgage could save you around $2,500—or more. And the bigger the mortgage, the bigger the savings.

How the Mortgage Renewal Calculator Works

The beauty of the Calculator is in its simplicity. Here’s how you use it:

  1. Enter your current mortgage details—balance, rate, and term.
  2. Plug in the competing offer you’re considering—see Allen Ehlert for details.
  3. Review the side-by-side comparison to see the total interest costs and overall savings.

No guesswork. No spreadsheets. Just a clear, apples-to-apples comparison showing exactly how much money you’ll save by negotiating—or switching.

Real-World Examples for Realtors and Clients

For clients, this tool is about confidence. Instead of blindly accepting your lender’s offer, you can see the hard numbers and know when to push back—or when to jump ship to a better deal.

For realtors, it’s a way to deepen client relationships. Imagine sitting with buyers who are moving up to a new home and showing them how much their renewal savings could free up for their down payment or renovation fund. You’re not just helping them find a house—you’re helping them maximize their wealth.

A Story That Brings It All Home

Meet Raj and Emily. Their $600,000 mortgage was up for renewal, and their lender offered them a rate of 5.5%. Busy with two kids and careers, they were tempted to just sign and move on. But they decided to run the numbers through Allen’s Ultimate Mortgage Renewal Calculator.

They compared their lender’s offer with one from a competing bank at 5.4%. Just a tenth of a percent difference didn’t sound like much—until the calculator showed them they’d save over $3,000 over the next five years. That’s a family vacation, a chunk off their car loan, or money back into their kids’ education fund.

Armed with those numbers, I got them a better mortgage that fit with where they are now in life and negotiated a better deal. Without my Mortgage Renewal Calculator, they might never have realized how much was on the line.

Allen’s Final Thoughts

Renewal time isn’t just a chore—it’s your chance to win. Too many Canadians miss out on thousands of dollars in savings simply because they don’t compare offers. The Ultimate Mortgage Comparison Calculator makes the process simple, transparent, and empowering.

With just a few clicks, you can see whether your lender’s offer is competitive—or whether it’s time to take your business elsewhere. And in today’s economy, where every dollar counts, that clarity is priceless.

How I Can Support You

The calculator is powerful, but pairing it with professional advice takes things to the next level. As your mortgage agent, I can:

  • Run advanced comparisons between multiple lenders.
  • Negotiate on your behalf to secure the lowest possible rate.
  • Identify hidden fees or conditions that calculators don’t always capture.
  • Help you decide whether it’s smarter to stay with your lender or switch.
  • Show you how renewal savings can fund other financial goals.

Bottom line? It’s too big of a decision not to do the work. I’m here to make sure you don’t just renew—you optimize. Renewal season should be about opportunity, not obligation. And with the right tools and the right advice, you can walk away with more money in your pocket and peace of mind in your heart.

Commercial 101

Commercial Mortgage 101

When you hear people talking about mortgages, they’re usually chatting about homes — houses, condos, maybe even a cute little duplex. But there’s a whole other world of financing out there: commercial mortgages. And let me tell you, it’s a different beast altogether. Whether you’re looking to buy your own storefront, scoop up an apartment building, or finally invest in that industrial unit your buddy keeps bugging you about, understanding how commercial mortgages work is absolutely crucial.

Commercial Mortgages

Finding A Commercial Mortgage in Canada

When it comes to commercial mortgages, most people think the only place to go is the bank. You walk in, shake a hand, sign some papers, and walk out with financing for that office building, warehouse, or rental property you’ve had your eye on. Sounds simple, right? Well… not quite.

Mortgage Penalty Calculators

Canadian Mortgage Penalty Calculators: Here’s the thing about mortgages: they look nice and tidy on paper, but the moment you want to change anything—refinance, renew early, sell before your term is up—you’ve technically “broken” your mortgage. And when you break your mortgage, you’re not walking away scot-free. You’re on the hook for a penalty.

Commercial Rate

Why Your Commercial Mortgage Rate Isn’t Set in Stone

When it comes to mortgages, most people are laser-focused on one thing: the rate. And fair enough — no one wants to pay more interest than they have to. But if you’re shopping for a commercial mortgage, you’ll quickly realize the question isn’t just “What’s the rate?” — it’s “How is this rate being calculated in the first place?”

Mortgages Appraisals

Why Mortgages Require Appraisals

Ever wonder why, just when your client thinks they’re home free on their mortgage approval, the lender throws in the curveball: “We’ll need an appraisal.”
If you’re a realtor or a homebuyer, you’ve probably muttered under your breath, “Seriously? Why?!” Well, let’s break it down.

Property Evaluation

Understanding Property Evaluation

Whether you’re a realtor helping clients close deals faster, or you’re a homeowner trying to wrap your head around why some appraisals cost nothing and others come with a $700 bill attached, understanding how lenders assess property value is crucial. It’s not just about the number they land on—it’s about how they get there, and how that process affects everything from closing timelines to cash out of pocket.

New Medical Pros

Mortgages for New Medical Professionals

You’ve put in the years: university, med school, residency, sleepless nights, and long shifts. Now you’re finally launching your career as a medical professional. But despite your high earning potential, buying your first home might still feel out of reach because you don’t yet have the income history that lenders usually want to see.

Being On Commission

Being on Commission

If you earn your living on commission — whether you’re a real estate agent, car salesperson, or any other commission-based professional — you already know that your income can feel like a bit of a roller coaster. Some months are stellar; others are… well, let’s just say you’re happy you put a little aside. But what does that mean when it’s time to buy a home? Or refinance? Or even just get pre-approved?
