Enter the home purchase price, set your down payment and watch the app work its magic. 

It will quickly tell you whether insurance is required and what the payments would be for a specific rate.

Down payment can also be entered in various ways

Multiple ways to enter down payment

CMA is super flexible. You can choose to add in your down payment as a % of the home price, for instance, you may decide that you only want to put 5% or 20% as a down payment. If you know the amount you can enter it in $.

Additionally, you can let the app calculate the minimum required for the given home price.

You get to see a complete overview with all frequencies pre-calculated for you. Looking at the entire spectrum of possibilities not only lets you choose which the right option for you but also why it's the right option.

Things that help you see what payment frequency is most advantages are the total interest and total savings with the principal & interest break down. 

What about Mortgage Insurance?

CMA automatically calculates loan and mortgage insurance (MDI) also known as CMHC, using the home price and your downpayment.

If needed, the insurance premium is automatically added to the loan value, and your payment is recalculated. 

In some cases where the rules don't apply to you or the app determines that you won't qualify for mortgage insurance, it educates you with simple to understand messages.
