The Canadian Mortgage Calculator is mainly intended for Canadian residents and uses the Canadian dollar as currency, with interest rate compounded semi-annually.
• Canadian Compounding Law: Fixed mortgage interest in Canada is compounded semi-annually, not in advance, yielding a slightly lower monthly payment compared to monthly compounding.
• CMHC Minimum Down Payment: 5% on first $500k, 10% on portion between $500k and $1M, and 20% on $1M+ homes.

Canadian mortgage financing differs substantially from the American framework due to statutory semi-annual compounding requirements, mandatory CMHC default insurance, and 5-year fixed renewal cycles.
By Canadian law (Interest Act), fixed-rate mortgages must be compounded semi-annually not in advance ($m=2$).
This results in a slightly lower effective monthly compounding interest factor than US monthly compounding ($r/12$).
Canada requires tiered minimum down payments:
Down payments below 20% mandate CMHC / Sagen / Canada Guaranty default insurance.
In Canada, the amortization period is typically 25 or 30 years, while the mortgage term (contract rate length) is usually 3 to 5 years, requiring renewal at current market rates upon term expiry.
