Can I Afford This Home? — Free Mortgage Calculator

This free tool from Shawn Selanders, an independent RECA-licensed mortgage broker in Alberta, lets you instantly calculate monthly mortgage payments, income required to qualify, and cash needed to close on any property. Enter a listing price and get three scenarios — 5%, 10%, and 20% down — with real numbers based on current rates.

How It Works

Step 1: Enter the property price, or snap a photo of a listing and the tool reads it automatically.

Step 2: See instant results — monthly payments, income needed, cash to close, and CMHC insurance costs for three down payment scenarios.

Step 3: Share the results with your spouse, parents, or financial advisor via text, email, PDF, or WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free?

Yes. Completely free, no signup required, no email required to use the calculator. You only enter your contact info if you want Shawn to follow up with you.

Is this a mortgage pre-approval?

No. This tool provides estimates for planning purposes only. A mortgage approval requires a full application, credit check, and income verification. Contact Shawn for a proper assessment.

How accurate are the numbers?

The calculations use current posted rates and standard CMHC insurance premiums. Your actual rate, payment, and qualification will depend on your credit, income, and the specific lender. These are solid estimates — not guarantees.

Can realtors use this tool with their clients?

Yes. Realtors can get free co-branded QR codes and email banners that link to this tool with their name and brokerage displayed. Learn about the free Leads on Autopilot program →
