Already received a renewal offer from your lender?
Check the rate against current Canadian mortgage benchmarks before you sign. FairRate is paid by you, not by lenders, and does not sell your information to brokers.
Most borrowers compare only after they have already signed. Free check first; paid report options after the check: Rate Fairness Report CA$24 · Full Renewal Decision Report CA$49. No broker calls. No data sold.
A 4.94% rate is an offer percentage, not a permanent verdict. Whether it is competitive depends on fresh Canadian 5-year fixed comparison context on the date you review it, plus your mortgage, property, equity or insurance status, qualification, remaining amortization, and the written product terms.
FairRate's current benchmark-backed checker supports Canadian 5-year fixed renewal offers only. Variable-rate and other-term offers should not be compared against this page as though they were the same product.
The estimates below show the payment scale of a 4.94% rate. They do not prove that another rate is available to you and are not a personalized recommendation, lender quote, approval, or guaranteed savings calculation.
FairRate is not a mortgage broker, lender, law firm, or financial advisor. Verify current terms and available rates directly before acting.
Search engines may retain older benchmark figures after market data or page content changes. A historic snippet should not be treated as the current comparison for a live renewal decision. Use a freshly dated comparison and confirm the lender's written offer rather than relying on an undated rate claim.

The table uses a 25-year amortization and Canadian semi-annual compounding. It is an illustrative scheduled-payment estimate for the stated rate and balance, not a lender quote, approval, savings claim, or prediction of your final cost.
Actual payments and total costs can differ because of payment frequency, remaining amortization, mortgage insurance, fees, penalties, prepayments, refinancing or switching costs, product features, taxes, and the rate you actually qualify for.
Compare the complete written terms rather than assuming the lowest advertised rate is available to you or is the lowest-cost option after fees, penalties, and restrictions.
A 4.94% 5-year fixed renewal offer cannot be judged from the percentage alone or from an old search-result snippet. Compare it with fresh 5-year fixed market context on the date of review, then consider mortgage characteristics, qualification, fees, penalties, product features, and switching costs.
This page shows estimated monthly payments for several mortgage balances using a 25-year amortization and Canadian semi-annual compounding. The estimates are illustrative and do not include every fee, insurance cost, tax, penalty, prepayment, or product-specific condition.
No. A fixed percentage is not a timeless verdict. Market comparisons change, and a lower advertised rate may not be available to a particular borrower or cheaper after qualification, fees, penalties, and restrictions.
Ask your lender to confirm the rate, term, payment, remaining amortization, prepayment privileges, portability, penalty wording, fees, restrictions, expiry date, and whether another renewal option is available. Request material terms in writing before signing.
