Summary:

The Interest Calculator shows how much total interest and principal you will pay over a specific mortgage term (not the full amortization).
This is useful when you want to understand the true cost of your mortgage during a fixed term before renewal.

Note: Mobile browsers have a simplified UI which may not contain all controls. For best experience, a desktop browser is recommended.

How to open the calculator:
  1. Navigate to the Calculators page using the main menu.
  2. Find Interest Calculator in the list and click the calculator icon.

Tips:
  • Use the term length (e.g. 5 years) rather than the full amortization to see what you actually pay before your next renewal.
  • Even a 0.25% rate difference can result in thousands of dollars difference in interest paid over a 5-year term.
  • Use the Share Link button to compare two scenarios side by side in separate browser tabs.

Additional Information:
  • See the Payment Calculator help article for full amortization payment details.
  • See the Penalty Calculator help article to estimate what it would cost to break your term early.
