How much mortgage will you qualify for?
A clean estimate using Canada’s stress-test rules — GDS, TDS, and the qualifying rate. Enter your numbers, get the verdict, see the full amortization and a year-over-year split of principal vs. interest.
Where to start
Fill in your gross household income, down payment, expected interest rate, and any monthly debts. We’ll show your maximum mortgage and qualifying ratios in seconds.
Income & debts
Before tax. Combine if buying with a partner.
Cars, credit cards, student loans, child support. Excludes the mortgage.
Purchase
Cash on hand, including RRSP HBP or FHSA withdrawals.
Your lender’s offer (%).
Max 30 (insured: 25, or 30 for first-time buyers & new builds).
Housing costs
Only enter if condo/townhouse. Lenders count 50% in GDS.
Stress test: we qualify you at contract rate + 2% or 5.25% (the federal benchmark) — whichever is higher. GDS limit: 39%. TDS limit: 44%.
