Canadian fixed mortgages compound semi-annually (not monthly), which slightly lowers the effective rate. The payment amortises the loan — typically over 25 years — and this calculator applies the semi-annual convention automatically.
If your down payment is under 20%, CMHC (or a private insurer) mortgage-default insurance is required and added to your loan. The premium rises as your down payment shrinks. A 20%+ down payment avoids it entirely.
The term (often 5 years) is how long your current rate is locked; the amortization (often 25 years) is how long until the loan is fully paid. You renew the term several times over the amortization.
