The True Monthly Cost Calculator

Enter a purchase price and see everything a GTA home actually costs — every month, and the cash you'd need at closing. Test a few prices to find the range that fits your plan.

Land transfer tax is exact for Ontario (and Toronto where selected). Legal and closing costs are a typical range — confirm with your lawyer.

Cost modelling only, built on typical GTA estimates. Actual utilities, insurance, maintenance, taxes and legal costs vary by property and provider. Confirm your numbers with a licensed mortgage professional and the relevant providers before making decisions.
How this works

The real monthly number, not just the mortgage

The mortgage payment is only part of what a home costs each month. Property tax, condo or maintenance fees, utilities, insurance and a maintenance reserve all add up — and the total is what actually lands on your budget.

Enter a price and this tool builds the full monthly picture, plus the one-time cash you'd hand over at closing: down payment, Ontario land transfer tax (and Toronto's municipal tax where it applies), first-time-buyer rebates, and legal costs. Change the price and everything updates, so you can see which price range keeps the monthly number where you want it.

Down payment in Canada: 5% on the first $500,000 and 10% on the portion up to $1.5M; 20% is required above $1.5M. Under 20% down, CMHC insurance is added to the mortgage — it doesn't change your cash to close, but it does raise the monthly payment.
