Who is your mortgage with?

Using a posted rate of 6.05% for the 3.0 years you have left, less a discount of 1.84 points worked out from your start date and rate. Posted rates are the big-bank average published by the Bank of Canada, 2026-09-23; your own bank’s may differ.

Minimum savings threshold

Only flag breaking as worthwhile if savings exceed this. Breaking involves legal fees and paperwork, so small savings may not be worth the effort.

$15,000
$1,000$50,000

Your break analysis

Technically yes — but below your savings threshold

Savings of $14,031 — below your $15,000 threshold

Breaking now would save about $14,031, which is less than the $15,000 you said would make it worth the effort. After legal fees and paperwork it may not be worth your time.

What to consider

Your payment drops by roughly $398 per payment.

Over the comparison window you pay $14,338 less, but owe $307 more at the end.

Rather not come back and re-run these every few months?

The monthly mortgage check-up runs the same numbers for you: renewal, breaking, equity and, for variable rates, whether your payment is keeping up. One email a month, and you can stop it from any message.
