Trigger rates are specific to variable rate mortgages with static payments. It is the point at which the interest rate on your variable rate mortgage has increased so much that your payments are not enough to cover the interest that accrues between payments and is no longer paying down any of the principal. This rate is calculated by multiplying the payment amount by the number of payments per year and dividing by the current balance, times 100 for the rate. Trigger Rate = [(Payment amount x Payments per year) / Current mortgage balance] x 100 ​ This calculation is imperative to understand if the existing mortgage has become completely unsustainable. Mortgages at or beyond their trigger rate are no longer paying any of the principal balance within the current term, and are not progressing in owning more of their property through their payments. Mortgage brokers should be working aggressively on behalf of clients that have met or exceeded their trigger rates to find them a refinancing opportunity that they can qualify for in order to stop their clients from making payments towards nothing.

Yes, the IRD penalties are calculated to the end of the term from the current date for the current lender. These are displayed on both the Analyze and Compare pages.

Penalties for fixed rate mortgages are calculated in two parts. First, we determine the IRD (Interest Rate Differential) penalty. This is done by comparing the posted rate at IAD and the current posted rate for the term closest to the remaining term length. The difference is divided by the number of payments per year to get the IRD Factor. ​ Next, the current balance on the mortgage is multiplied by the IRD Factor and the number of payments remaining in the current term to give the IRD Penalty (the maximum value of zero or IRD penalty is selected). ​ Three Month Interest Penalty is calculated simply by multiplying the current balance by the annual posted rate and dividing by four. The higher of these two numbers is selected as the penalty to be applied to the mortgage. For variable and adjustable rate mortgages, only Three Month Interest Penalty is considered.

The discrepancies in numbers between your go-to mortgage calculator or app and Property Fox's mortgage calculator can be attributed to Property Fox's commitment to unparalleled accuracy. Unlike other calculators, Property Fox's advanced calculator accepts decimal points when entering data from mortgage statements and uses actual historic rates when performing historical calculations. This precision, especially for variable and adjustable rate mortgages, ensures more precise calculations and a true representation of your client's mortgage progress.

When we expanded the functionality of Broker Scout to become Property Fox we recognized that the new platform would have massive utility beyond Mortgage Brokers. In fact the early feedback from Financial Planners, Investment Advisors and Real Estate agents has been really good. We wanted to price our offering to be compelling to them, so that’s exactly what we did. We don’t believe it would be fair or right to charge mortgage brokers more than others just because they get paid to write mortgages, so made all of the pricing consistent. So, it's a big win for mortgage brokers and other professionals alike!
