Calculator · Step 2

What would your payment actually be?

Monthly, bi-weekly, or accelerated bi-weekly - for any price, down payment, rate, and amortization. See total interest over the full term and exactly how much accelerating really saves.

How the calculator works.

  1. Enter the home price and down payment.

    The calculator works out your loan-to-value and whether CMHC insurance applies.

  2. Pick a term and rate.

    Choose from current published rates or enter a custom rate.

  3. Set your amortization.

    5 to 30 years. First-time buyers on insured mortgages can use 30 years as of December 2024.

  4. Choose a payment frequency.

    Monthly, bi-weekly, or accelerated bi-weekly - accelerated adds the equivalent of one extra monthly payment per year.

  5. Read your payment and total interest.

    See the exact payment amount and how much interest you'll pay over the full amortization.

Accelerated bi-weekly, in plain math.

Regular bi-weekly just splits your yearly payments evenly into 26 instalments - the total annual outflow is identical to monthly. Accelerated bi-weekly takes half your monthly payment and pays it every two weeks. That's effectively one extra full monthly payment per year, applied entirely to principal.

On a typical Manitoba mortgage, the difference between monthly and accelerated bi-weekly is 3–4 fewer years on your amortization and tens of thousands in interest saved.

Why this number is illustrative.

The rates shown are current best-available pricing - useful for budgeting, not for signing. Your actual rate depends on your down payment size, property type, credit profile, term length, and which of 40+ lenders we match you to.

Real mortgages renew every 3–5 years at whatever rate is current then. If you want to model renewal scenarios, text me - it's one of the first things I walk new clients through.
