The rate in your lender's renewal letter.

Another lender's rate, or one you've been quoted.

Legal, appraisal or discharge fees, if the new lender doesn't cover them.

Interest over the 5-year term

The interest you'd pay each year of the term at each rate. The difference between the bars is what a lower rate saves.

How this is calculated

  • Payments assume a fixed rate compounded semi-annually, which is how Canadian fixed-rate mortgages are quoted.
  • Most lenders send a renewal offer and let you renew without a penalty up to 120 days before your term ends.
  • If you switch lenders at renewal without adding to your mortgage or extending the amortization, you don't have to pass the stress test again.
  • Switching can come with costs such as legal or appraisal fees. Some lenders cover them. Add them to see whether a lower rate still comes out ahead.

These figures are estimates for illustration only and aren't a mortgage offer or approval. Your actual rate, payment and insurance premium depend on the lender, the property and your application.
