Important: default-insurance eligibility, premium, amortization and minimum down-payment rules depend on the transaction and lender/insurer requirements. Provincial sales tax on the premium is payable in cash and is not added to the mortgage. For a selected Toronto purchase, the tool also includes the City’s current MLTT administration fee plus HST; re-verify the fee before closing.
