Ontario mortgage refinancing
Refinancing your mortgage? Look beyond the monthly payment.
Whether you are considering renovations, debt consolidation or payment restructuring, understand the full cost and long-term effect of refinancing.
Your next step
What to consider before deciding
Refinancing means changing an existing mortgage arrangement, often to access equity or revise borrowing terms. A lower monthly payment can be helpful, but a longer amortization may increase total interest paid. You should compare new borrowing costs, possible penalties and the effect on your longer-term goals.
Useful details for your conversation
- Estimated property value and existing mortgage balance
- Your reason for refinancing and approximate amount needed
- Potential early-discharge penalties
- New rate, amortization and payment structure
- Legal, appraisal and other transaction costs
Understand the tradeoffs
What should you calculate first?
Compare both the payment and the total cost over time. Include any penalty for breaking the current mortgage, other fees and how the new amortization changes the amount of interest paid. A refinance requires lender qualification and approval.

Can refinancing release home equity?
It may, depending on property value, current debt, lender limits and credit qualification.
