What changes your payment
A longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises the total interest. Your rate depends mostly on your credit score, income and existing debt: prime borrowers at banks and credit unions often see single-digit rates, while alternative lenders can charge up to Canada's criminal interest cap of 35% APR (in effect since January 2025).
Fees such as origination or insurance add to the cost. Compare offers on APR, not just the payment. Your actual rate will come from a lender's offer.
Run your exact numbers in the loan calculator, compare Canadian lenders, or check your debt-to-income ratio.
Estimates use a fixed monthly payment and nominal annual rate compounded monthly, with no fees. Rates shown are examples, not offers.
