Desjardins Mortgage Insurance Calculator Canada
Desjardins Loan Insurance can protect a mortgage through life and disability coverage, so enter your actual Desjardins premium from the quote, certificate, or mortgage statement, then compare the life-insurance side with personally owned term life.
What this Desjardins calculator is comparing
Desjardins says Loan Insurance covers a mortgage in case of death or disability based on the insurance percentages selected. Its life insurance can cover the loan balance after death, while disability insurance can cover regular payments, subject to eligibility and the contract.
FCAC says optional mortgage insurance is not required for mortgage approval and the lender cannot insist that you buy it. FCAC also explains that mortgage life insurance may pay the lender, while term or permanent life insurance can pay your chosen beneficiary directly.
That is the comparison to make before you accept or renew: Desjardins mortgage-tied loan protection, or personally owned coverage where your household controls the benefit.

How to use the result safely
1. Use the real premium
Desjardins pricing depends on your selected insurance percentage and loan details, so the clean input is the premium shown on your own documents.
2. Split life from disability
Death protection and disability payment protection answer different risks. Compare the life portion against term life, then review disability separately.
3. Avoid a coverage gap
Keep existing Desjardins coverage active until any replacement term life policy is approved, accepted, and in force.
