If you have a mortgage with another lender, your prepayment options may be different. If you are a Scotiabank mortgage customer, depending on the mortgage solution that you select, each year you can increase your scheduled monthly payments by up to 10%, 15% or 20% of the payment initially set for your term (or in some cases, your current payment) and make a lump sum prepayment of up to 10%, 15% or 20% of your original principal amount without incurring a prepayment charge. Calculations assume that the interest rate would remain constant over the entire amortization period, but actual interest rates may vary over the amortization period Making weekly/bi-weekly payments will have the effect of making an extra monthly payment every year and will shorten your amortization. The calculations assume all payments are made when due. The Calculator assumes interest is compounded semi-annually, not in advance. Rates quoted are not considered as rate guarantees. Scotiabank does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the calculation results. The starting mortgage length is the amortization period at the beginning of your mortgage term.Ĭalculation results are approximations based on the data you have entered and for illustration purposes only and are not intended to provide financial advice. This is also known as the amortization period. Mortgage length is the time it would take to repay your mortgage in full.
