Hi, thanks for this. This payment function works well for mortgages outside of Canada. In Canada, with the exception of variable rate mortgages, all mortgages are compounded semi-annually, by law. This has an impact on the outcome.

My apologies, I was not aware that Canadian Mortgages were compounded semi-annually. Perhaps this may help:
