Methodology notes. Rate buydown discounts interest savings to PV at the periodic rate over the term. Amortization uses Canadian semi-annual compounding by default. CMHC premium tables reflect 2024–2025 schedules; verify current published rates with CMHC before relying on results for live transactions. Informational only; not financial or lending advice.
