Calculate the periodic mortgage payment for a Canadian home.

Estimate British Columbia's home flipping tax on a property sold within 730 days: 20% tapering to 0% between 366 and 730 days, with a $20,000 primary-residence deduction (only if held at least 365 days).

Calculate the maximum allowable annual rent increase under the Ontario LTB, BC RTB or Manitoba RTB guideline for a given year, and the resulting new rent.

Estimate Canadian capital gains tax on a disposition (real estate, stocks, crypto, a business, or a rental property). Applies the flat 50% inclusion rate, the principal-residence exemption, the lifetime capital gains exemption for QSBC shares, capital-loss offsets, and rental CCA recapture — then taxes the taxable gain on top of your other income at federal + provincial brackets.

Compare a HELOC against a second mortgage for tapping home equity in Canada.

Work out the maximum home price a Canadian buyer qualifies for: binary-searches the price that keeps both the GDS (39%) and TDS (44%) ratios satisfied at the OSFI stress-test rate, honouring the Dec-2024 minimum down payment tiers and the $1.5M CMHC insurability ceiling. Returns max price, max mortgage, CMHC premium, monthly payment, and the GDS/TDS ratios.

Analyze a Canadian rental property: capitalization rate, net operating income, gross rent multiplier, expense ratio, annual cash flow and cash-on-cash return, plus how the cap rate compares to typical yields in the local market. Mortgage math uses Canadian semi-annual compounding.

Estimate the profit on a Canadian house flip: land transfer tax (with first-time buyer rebate), renovation cost with contingency, holding costs, realtor commission, and closing costs — then the tax bill. Flags the CRA residential property flipping rule (held under 12 months = 100% business income, no capital gains treatment) and shows the tax saving from waiting past the 12-month line.
