Compare actual monthly premiums
Scotiabank Mortgage Insurance Calculator Canada
Enter your actual Scotiabank monthly premium and a term life quote to see whether the term premium is lower, equal or higher. This tool does not generate a Scotiabank or term life quote and does not project long-term savings.
Independent SMI comparison, not Scotiabank. Not an insurance application or approval.
Your quotes, current monthly difference
Compare Scotia Mortgage Protection with term life
Scotiabank 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
Scotia Mortgage Protection offers life, terminal illness, critical illness, disability, and job-loss benefits subject to the selected coverages and certificate. Scotiabank says Terminal Illness coverage is included when you have both Life and Critical Illness coverages on the mortgage. Life insurance does not replace disability, critical illness or job-loss coverage. [1] Scotiabank coverage details
The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada explains that mortgage life insurance pays the lender and its death benefit decreases as the mortgage balance falls. 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 Scotiabank 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.

Scotiabank mortgage insurance calculator: common questions
Scotiabank borrowers usually ask about Scotia Mortgage Protection's separate coverage lines. These answers come from Scotiabank's product description and Financial Consumer Agency of Canada guidance.
Does this Scotiabank calculator use my actual Scotia Mortgage Protection premium?
The calculator requires your actual Scotia Mortgage Protection monthly premium and uses it unchanged. It does not generate a Scotiabank price or a bank average. Enter an actual term life quote to compare costs; the tool does not generate one.
Is Scotia Mortgage Protection the same as Scotiabank life insurance?
It is mortgage-tied creditor insurance, not a personally owned term policy. Scotiabank describes the product as paying toward the mortgage balance or helping with scheduled payments if a claim is approved. A personally owned term policy pays your beneficiary directly and is not tied to the lender.
Why should the coverage lines be priced separately?
Life, terminal illness, critical illness, disability, and job-loss benefits respond to different events and carry different definitions, limits, and waiting periods. Bundling them into one monthly figure hides which line is doing the work, so compare each one against the standalone alternative it competes with.
Can I cancel Scotiabank mortgage insurance?
Yes, optional creditor insurance can be cancelled. Arrange replacement coverage first, confirm it is approved and in force, then cancel. Our cancellation checklist covers the sequence and what to keep in writing.
What if my Scotiabank mortgage changes or I move lenders?
Coverage built around a specific mortgage may not continue the same way after a refinance, renewal, or transfer to another lender. Check the certificate before you restructure the loan, and re-run the comparison if the coverage amount changes.
