What this calculator adds
Beyond basic payment estimation, this tool lets you model:
- Prepayment impact: See how annual lump sums reduce amortization and total interest
- Payment increase effect: Model a permanent payment bump within typical privilege ranges
- Accelerated frequency: Compare monthly versus accelerated biweekly or weekly
Prepayment strategy
Most Canadian mortgages allow extra payments each year without penalty, up to your privilege limit (often 10% to 20% of the original balance). Extra payments go to principal and can shorten amortization meaningfully. Even modest annual lump sums of $5,000 to $10,000 can save tens of thousands in interest over the life of a mortgage.

Planning FAQs
How much can I prepay without penalty?
Your prepayment privilege is set in your mortgage contract. Common limits are 10% to 20% of the original balance per year as a lump sum, plus a payment increase privilege. Exceeding these limits can trigger a penalty. Check your contract or ask Jason to review it.
Is accelerated biweekly better than monthly?
Accelerated biweekly results in 26 half-payments per year, which equals about 13 full monthly payments instead of 12. That extra amount goes to principal and can cut roughly 3 to 4 years off a 25-year amortization. It is one of the simplest ways to pay off a mortgage faster.
Should I prepay or invest the extra money?
This depends on your mortgage rate versus expected investment returns, your risk tolerance, and your tax situation. At higher mortgage rates, prepaying provides a guaranteed return equal to your rate. At lower rates, investing may outperform, though returns are never guaranteed. Jason can discuss the trade-offs for your situation.
