How this is calculated

  • Closing costs typically run about 1.5%–4% of the purchase price.
  • These are estimates only. Your lawyer confirms the final figures, and other costs (such as a survey or condo status certificate) may apply.

Calculators are provided for general informational and illustrative purposes only.

But how does this apply to your business income?

This calculator estimates the numbers you entered. How a lender treats your salary, dividends or business income is a separate question, and it's the one the Mortgage Readiness Review looks at first.
