How to use this result
Start with the decision, then inspect the assumptions.
The cash needed to close is greater than the down payment. Transfer taxes or registration charges depend on location, while legal fees, adjustments, inspection, and moving costs depend on the transaction.
How the calculation works
The rule engine selects the configured provincial or municipal transfer schedule, then adds editable planning allowances. Mortgage default insurance is shown separately because it is commonly added to the mortgage rather than paid as cash at closing.
For the full notation, rate conversion, rounding approach, and limitations, see the calculation methodology.
Worked Canadian example
Put the estimate in context
An Ontario buyer purchasing for CA$650,000 with CA$65,000 down would estimate provincial land transfer tax, legal fees, title insurance, inspection, appraisal, adjustments, and moving costs. If the property is in Toronto, the municipal tax is added.
Before relying on it
Common mistakes
- 01Budgeting only the down payment.
- 02Forgetting municipal transfer tax in Toronto or location-specific rates in Quebec and Nova Scotia.
- 03Treating financed mortgage insurance as available cash for closing.
- 04Ignoring prepaid property-tax or utility adjustments.
Clear answers
Frequently asked questions
Is mortgage insurance a cash closing cost?
The premium is often added to the mortgage, while provincial tax on the premium may be payable in cash where applicable. Confirm with the lender and lawyer.
Are first-time-buyer rebates included?
Not in this initial estimate. Eligibility and timing vary, so the result conservatively shows gross configured tax.
