Rates and mortgages

What happens at renewal?

Compare your payment today with what it could be at a new rate, on the balance you'll still owe.

Your lender's renewal letter or annual statement shows this. Use the rate you've been offered. Today's prime rate is 4.70%.
Monthly payment at 4.7% $2,885 $503 more than at 2.5% ($2,382), on $450,000 over 20 years
Your payment at other renewal rates
3.7%$2,650 a month
4.2%$2,766 a month
4.7%$2,885 a month
5.2%$3,006 a month
5.7%$3,130 a month

Over a five-year term, that's about $30,173 more in payments. Shopping around before your renewal date is often worth a quarter point or more.

Estimates assume a fixed rate compounded twice a year, as Canadian lenders do. This isn't mortgage advice. Thinking of selling or moving up instead of renewing? Find out what your home is worth or price your next one.
