How this estimate is calculated
- Mortgage before insurance = property value - minimum down payment - additional down payment.

- Mortgage after insurance = mortgage before insurance + insurance premium.
- Cash needed = total down payment + land transfer tax + PST on insurance + legal fee, rounded to the nearest $100.
- Total monthly expenses = mortgage monthly estimate + utilities + property tax + home insurance + car payment + car insurance + food and groceries + transportation + other monthly transfer, rounded to the nearest $50.
