How the figures are assembled

The mortgage uses the Canadian semi-annual compounding calculation already used by this site. When applicable, estimated default-insurance premiums are added to mortgage principal. Cash to close is the calculated down payment plus your closing-cost allowance. Monthly cost adds mortgage, property tax, condo fees, heating, insurance, and maintenance.
