Strata fee & payment calculator

Mortgage, strata fee, tax and insurance in one monthly number.

Your monthly cost

Estimate only. Adds CMHC mortgage insurance when the down payment is under 20% using the standard premium table (2.8% at 15–19.99%, 3.1% at 10–14.99%, 4.0% at 5–9.99%). Payments use Canadian semi-annual compounding. Not financial advice.

Why strata fees change the math

Lenders count half of your strata fee when they work out how much you can borrow, and you pay all of it every month. A $500 fee is roughly the same monthly cost as another $90,000 of mortgage at today's rates.

Low fees aren't automatically good news. A strata that keeps fees low by under-funding its reserve often ends up charging special levies later. Compare the fee with the depreciation report before you decide.
