An affordable form of insurance
The premium for your Mortgage Loan Insurance is calculated as a percentage of the loan and is based on your down payment as a percentage of your home's purchase price.
- Premiums range from 0.5% to 2.75% (see chart below).
- A .25% premium surcharge is added to the premium if you choose a standard variable rate mortgage.
- A .50% surcharge is added to the premium if progress advances are required.
- You can pay this premium in a single lump sum, or add it to your mortgage and include it in your monthly payments.
- A representative of your lender or mortgage broker will calculate the amount of your premium for you, as well as the application fee.
