Mortgage Qualify

About

An independent set of tools, built for buyers.

Mortgage Qualify is not a lender or brokerage. We build calculators and guides — the decision is still yours.

Numbers first

Every calculator is built from the actual formulas lenders and CMHC use — not rounded rules of thumb.

No pressure

We don't sell mortgages or take referral fees for recommending a product. You can use every calculator without an account.

Plain language

The learning centre exists because the math only helps if you understand what it means for your decision.

Mortgage Qualify started as a simple observation: most mortgage calculators online are built to generate leads for a specific lender or broker, which means the assumptions baked into them are rarely neutral. We built our calculators using the same public CMHC premium tiers, stress-test rules, and provincial land transfer tax brackets that lenders themselves use — with the sources cited, and the caveats included.

We'll always tell you when a figure is an estimate rather than a precise calculation, and we'll never hide a number to make a scenario look better than it is.
