01 / Estimate

Your payment,
estimated.

Use this like a working note: adjust the purchase price, down payment, and rate, then bring the scenario into a pre-approval conversation.

Inputs

These are not locked rates. They are the assumptions behind the estimate.

Included

Principal, interest, and CMHC premium when it applies.

Separate

Property tax, insurance, heating, condo fees, and closing costs.

Best use

Compare scenarios before asking a lender for the real number.

Next step

Use this estimate as the starting point. A pre-approval checks income, debts, credit, property type, and lender rules.

Get pre-approved

Estimate only — not a mortgage approval. Assumes a fixed rate compounded semi-annually (the Canadian standard) held for the full amortization. When the down payment is under 20%, CMHC insurance is added to the loan; in Quebec, tax on that premium is paid at closing. Contact Anthony for today's rates and a real, lender-backed pre-approval.

02 / Afford

What you can
afford.

Enter your income — add a co-applicant if you're buying together — and see the maximum purchase price a lender would realistically approve, federal stress test included.

Inputs

Use gross (before-tax) income. Lenders qualify you at the stress-test rate — this estimate does too.

Applicant 1
Ratios

Housing capped at 39% of gross income (GDS); housing plus debts at 44% (TDS).

Stress test

Qualified at your rate + 2% (or 5.25%, whichever is higher) — the federal rule.

Housing costs

Payment, property tax, heating, and half of condo fees count toward the ratios.

Your maximum purchase price

Household gross income
Maximum mortgage
Est. monthly payment
Monthly housing budget
What sets the ceiling
Next step

This is the ceiling the math allows. A pre-approval verifies income documents, credit, and lender programs — and some lenders stretch further than others.

Get pre-approved

Estimate only — not a mortgage approval. Uses the standard GDS/TDS limits (39% / 44%) and the federal stress test (your rate + 2%, minimum 5.25%), with joint applications qualified on combined gross income. Actual lending limits vary by lender, credit profile, property, and program — some go beyond these ratios. Contact Anthony for a real, lender-backed pre-approval.
