National Bank Mortgage Insurance Calculator Canada
This National Bank mortgage insurance calculator compares a lender-tied quote against personally owned term life. Because National Bank does not publish one simple public life-premium table for every borrower, enter your actual National Bank premium from the quote, renewal, or statement.
What this National Bank calculator is comparing
National Bank mortgage insurance can include life, disability, and critical illness protection. National Bank says life coverage can help repay the insured mortgage balance after death, disability coverage can take over insured mortgage payments, and critical illness coverage can reduce or cover the mortgage balance, subject to the certificate.
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada says optional mortgage insurance is not required for mortgage approval, the lender cannot insist that you buy it, and mortgage life insurance may pay the mortgage balance to the lender.
That is the comparison to make before you sign or renew: National Bank mortgage-balance protection, or personally owned coverage where your chosen beneficiary controls the money.

How to use the result safely
1. Split the bundle
Life, disability, and critical illness benefits respond to different events. Compare the life-insurance portion separately before judging the whole package.
2. Check payout control
If the benefit is directed to the mortgage balance or payment, your household may still need flexible money for income, childcare, tax, or transition costs.
3. Avoid a coverage gap
Keep existing National Bank coverage active until any replacement term life policy is approved, accepted, and in force.

National Bank mortgage insurance calculator: common questions
National Bank mortgage insurance questions, answered from National Bank's product description and Financial Consumer Agency of Canada guidance on optional mortgage insurance.
Why does this National Bank calculator ask for my own premium?
National Bank loan insurance pricing depends on age, coverage type, and the amount insured, so the cleanest comparison uses the premium you were actually quoted. Enter that number and the calculator shows what level term life of a similar size would typically cost instead.
Is National Bank mortgage insurance the same as life insurance?
What is offered with a National Bank mortgage is creditor insurance tied to the loan. A personally owned term life policy is a separate contract that pays the beneficiary you name and keeps level coverage for the term, so the two are not interchangeable.
What should I confirm on the National Bank certificate?
Confirm the insured amount, how it tracks the mortgage balance, the maximum benefit, the review period, and whether the coverage continues if the mortgage is refinanced or transferred. Those terms decide the real value more than the monthly premium does.
Can I cancel National Bank mortgage insurance?
Yes. Optional creditor insurance can be cancelled. Have replacement coverage approved and in force before cancelling so your household is never unprotected during the switch.
Does the calculator include taxes, fees, or insurer differences?
No. It compares premiums and payout structure only. Underwriting, medical questions, exclusions, and insurer differences are outside the estimate, which is why the final decision should be made from the certificate and your own quote.
