- 3). Choose your interest rate. It's a good idea to call the bank and ask them what their current interest rates for mortgages are to get the most accurate information. Choose the type of interest rate, fixed or variable.
- 4). Enter the interest term, along with how often you plan on paying your mortgage and, finally, the amortization period or how many years you plan to take paying off your mortgage.
- 5). Click "Calculate" to see the results of your conditions for a Canadian mortgage. You can also view how much you need to pay to accelerate your mortgage.
