Compare actual monthly premiums
CIBC Life Insurance Calculator Canada
Enter your actual CIBC monthly premium and a term life quote to see whether the term premium is lower, equal or higher. This tool does not generate a CIBC or term life quote and does not project long-term savings.
Independent SMI comparison, not CIBC. Not an insurance application or approval.
Your quotes, current monthly difference
Compare CIBC mortgage life insurance with term life
CIBC is preselected. Enter the life-only bank premium and a term life monthly quote for the same insured person, coverage amount and tax basis. A monthly difference is not proof of equivalent benefits or future savings.
Without either quote, you can still use the tool to request a broker callback. No price or saving is generated from missing premiums.
Compare life coverage, not the whole bundle
Creditor Insurance for CIBC Mortgages offers separate life, critical illness and disability coverages. Disability Insurance Plus includes disability and job-loss protection, subject to eligibility, definitions and limits. Life insurance does not replace disability, critical illness or job-loss coverage. Ask CIBC to separate a bundled premium before comparing life-only costs. [1] CIBC coverage details
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada explains that mortgage life insurance may pay the mortgage balance to the lender. A personal life policy can pay your chosen beneficiaries, who decide how to use the money, subject to its terms. Review benefits, exclusions and coverage duration separately from the monthly price.

Before replacing existing coverage
Keep existing CIBC coverage active until any replacement term life policy is approved, accepted, and in force. Check which benefits you would lose, exclusions, effective dates, cancellation and refund rules in your own certificate. A life-only comparison does not establish replacement for other coverages.

CIBC mortgage insurance calculator: common questions
CIBC mortgage insurance questions answered from CIBC's creditor insurance description and Financial Consumer Agency of Canada guidance, so the calculator result is read in context.
Does the CIBC calculator use my real premium?
The calculator requires your actual CIBC monthly premium and uses it unchanged. It does not generate a CIBC price or a bank average. Enter an actual term life quote to compare costs; the tool does not generate one.
Is CIBC creditor insurance the same as CIBC life insurance?
What is usually offered with a CIBC mortgage is creditor insurance, where the benefit is tied to the mortgage. A personally owned term life policy is a different contract that pays your named beneficiary and keeps level coverage for the term, regardless of the mortgage balance.
What does CIBC creditor insurance cover?
CIBC's mortgage insurance product can include life and disability-type benefits, each with its own definitions, exclusions, maximums, and waiting periods. Read the certificate for each line separately rather than treating the package as one benefit.
Can I cancel CIBC mortgage insurance?
Yes. Optional creditor insurance can be cancelled. Get replacement coverage approved and in force before cancelling so your family is protected through the switch, and keep the written cancellation confirmation.
Why does the monthly comparison differ from my CIBC quote?
The calculator uses your entered CIBC and term life monthly premiums unchanged; it does not generate either price or a multi-year total. Check both amounts against the same insured person, coverage and tax basis. Your mortgage's years remaining do not establish either policy's term or future price.
