How the payment is calculated

Canadian law requires fixed-rate mortgage interest to be compounded no more often than semi-annually. The quoted annual rate is converted to an equivalent rate for each payment period, then the standard level-payment formula spreads principal and interest evenly over the amortization.

Accelerated payments

Accelerated bi-weekly payments are half of the monthly payment, made every two weeks. Because there are 26 bi-weekly periods in a year, you make the equivalent of one extra monthly payment each year, which shortens the amortization.
