How this calculator works: Ontario tax uses graduated residential land transfer rates. Toronto municipal tax is added only for purchases in the City of Toronto; for qualifying one- or two-residence properties, its higher rates effective April 1, 2026 are included. First-time buyer rebates are capped at the lower of actual tax or $4,000 provincially and $4,475 municipally. Figures assume a qualifying 100% buyer interest.

Mortgage payments use the Canadian fixed-mortgage convention of semi-annual compounding and monthly payments. Default-insurance premiums shown are approximate CMHC standard owner-occupied rates and assumed to be added to the mortgage, with 0.20% surcharge for 30-year insured amortization. The Ontario 8% sales tax on insurance is payable in cash. This tool does not provide a mortgage approval or account for special financing terms, non-resident speculation taxes, new-build HST or exemptions.
